Description
GALK2 acts as a galactokinase when galactose is present at high concentrations. GALK2 may be involved in a salvage pathway for the reutilization of free GalNAc derived from the degradation of complex carbohydrates. GALK2 has been reported to participate in pathways, such as Amino sugar and nucleotide sugar metabolism, Galactose metabolism and Metabolic pathways
