Descriptor English: Glycerol Kinase
Descriptor Spanish: Glicerol Quinasa
Descriptor glicerol cinasa
Entry term(s) glicerocinasa
gliceroquinasa
Scope note: Enzima que cataliza la formación de glicerol 3-fosfato a partir de ATP y glicerol. También pueden actuar como aceptores la dihidroxiacetona y el L-gliceraldehído. Pueden actuar como donadores la UTP y, en el caso de la enzima de las levaduras, ITP y GTP. Aporta una vía para que el glicerol derivado de las grasas o los glicéridos entren en la via glucolítica. EC 2.7.1.30.

Tree number(s): D08.811.913.696.620.275
RDF Unique Identifier: https://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D005991
Scope note: An enzyme that catalyzes the formation of glycerol 3-phosphate from ATP and glycerol. Dihydroxyacetone and L-glyceraldehyde can also act as acceptors; UTP and, in the case of the yeast enzyme, ITP and GTP can act as donors. It provides a way for glycerol derived from fats or glycerides to enter the glycolytic pathway. EC 2.7.1.30.
