This is an alternative isoform of GALK2 protein. View all 4 isoforms
GALK2: N-acetylgalactosamine kinase isoform 2
Description:

This gene encodes a highly efficient N-acetylgalactosamine (GalNAc) kinase, which has galactokinase activity when galactose is present at high concentrations. The encoded protein is a member of the GHMP kinase family. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jun 2017].
