Sysname
ATP:beta-L-fucose 1-phosphotransferase
Reaction(IUBMB)
ATP + L-fucose = ADP + beta-L-fucose 1-phosphate [RN:
R03161 ]
Reaction(KEGG)
Substrate
Product
Comment
Requires a divalent cation for activity, with Mg2+ and Fe2+ giving rise to the highest enzyme activity. Forms part of a salvage pathway for reutilization of L-fucose. Can also phosphorylate D-arabinose, but more slowly.
