In enzymology an alkylglycerol kinase (EC 2.7.1.93) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reactionATP + 1-O-alkyl-sn-glycerol ADP + 1-O-alkyl-sn-glycerol 3-phosphateThus the two substrates of this enzyme are ATP and 1-O-alkyl-sn-glycerol whereas its two products are ADP and 1-O-alkyl-sn-glycerol 3-phosphate.This enzyme belongs to the family of transferases specifically those transferring phosphorus-containing groups (phosphotransferases) with an alcohol group as acceptor.
