In enzymology a 2-dehydro-3-deoxygalactonokinase (EC 2.7.1.58) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reactionATP + 2-dehydro-3-deoxy-D-galactonate ADP + 2-dehydro-3-deoxy-D-galactonate 6-phosphateThus the two substrates of this enzyme are ATP and 2-dehydro-3-deoxy-D-galactonate whereas its two products are ADP and 2-dehydro-3-deoxy-D-galactonate 6-phosphate.This enzyme belongs to the family of transferases specifically those transferring phosphorus-containing groups (phosphotransferases) with an alcohol group as acceptor.
