In enzymology a galacturonokinase (EC 2.7.1.44) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reactionATP + D-galacturonate ADP + 1-phospho-alpha-D-galacturonateThus the two substrates of this enzyme are ATP and D-galacturonate whereas its two products are ADP and 1-phospho-alpha-D-galacturonate.This enzyme belongs to the family of transferases specifically those transferring phosphorus-containing groups (phosphotransferases) with an alcohol group as acceptor.
