In enzymology a xylulokinase (EC 2.7.1.17) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction ATP + D-xylulose ADP + D-xylulose 5-phosphateThus the two substrates of this enzyme are ATP and D-xylulose whereas its two products are ADP and D-xylulose 5-phosphate.This enzyme belongs to the family of transferases specifically those transferring phosphorus-containing groups (phosphotransferases) with an alcohol group as acceptor.
