In enzymology a N-acetylglucosamine kinase (EC 2.7.1.59) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reactionATP + N-acetyl-D-glucosamine ADP + N-acetyl-D-glucosamine 6-phosphateThus the two substrates of this enzyme are ATP and N-acetyl-D-glucosamine whereas its two products are ADP and N-acetyl-D-glucosamine 6-phosphate.This enzyme belongs to the family of transferases specifically those transferring phosphorus-containing groups (phosphotransferases) with an alcohol group as acceptor.
