Gene: XYLB

Alternate names for this Gene: -

Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene shares 22% sequence identity with Hemophilus influenzae xylulokinase, and even higher identity to other gene products in C.elegans (45%) and yeast (31-35%), which are thought to belong to a family of enzymes that include fucokinase, gluconokinase, glycerokinase and xylulokinase. These proteins play important roles in energy metabolism.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 3

Location in Chromosome : 3p22.2

Description of this Gene: xylulokinase

Type of Gene: protein-coding
