Pantothenate kinase
From Proteopedia
Pantothenate kinase (PanK) phosphorylates pantothenate (vitamin B5) (PAU) to form 4’-phosphopantothenate (PPT) using ATP as phosphate source. This is the first step in coenzyme A biosynthesis. PanK is regulated by feedback inhibition by CoA and its thioesters. Three types of PanK are known. PanK I found in bacteria; PanK II found mostly in eukaryotes; PanK III found in bacteria and known as CoaX.
