In enzymology a fucokinase (EC 2.7.1.52) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reactionATP + L-fucose ADP + beta-L-fucose 1-phosphateThus the two substrates of this enzyme are ATP and L-fucose whereas its two products are ADP and beta-L-fucose 1-phosphate.This enzyme belongs to the family of transferases specifically those transferring phosphorus-containing groups (phosphotransferases) with an alcohol group as acceptor.
