Template:STRUCTURE 1r59
Glycerol kinase (GK) phosphorylates glycerol forming glycerol 3-phosphate (G3P) using Mg-ATP as phosphate source. GK is a key enzyme in glycerol uptake and metabolism. Mutations of GK gene cause GK deficiency syndrome. PK is a multi-subunit allosteric enzyme. Its activity can be inhibited by fructose 1,6-bisphosphate (FBP) and by the glucose-specific phosphocarrier IIA(Glc). PK cofactor is a Zn atom which binds to the dimer.
