Gene: Sopen01g039890

General Information

Description Encodes a bifunctional enzyme that has both L-fucokinase and GDP-L-fucose pyrophosphorylase activities. It catalyzes the two steps of the L-fucose salvage pathway for the generation of activated GDP-L-fucose. This pathway seems to be of minor importance for cell wall polysaccharide biosynthesis compared to the de novo GDP-L-fucose biosynthesis pathway in Arabidopsis. | L-fucokinase/GDP-L-fucose pyrophosphorylase (FKGP) | FUNCTIONS IN: fucose-1-phosphate guanylyltransferase activity, fucokinase activity, ATP binding, galactokinase activity | INVOLVED IN: GDP-L-fucose salvage | LOCATED IN: cytoplasm | EXPRESSED IN: 22 plant structures | EXPRESSED DURING: 13 growth stages | CONTAINS InterPro DOMAIN/s: Mevalonate/galactokinase , Ribosomal protein S5 domain 2-type fold , GHMP kinase , L-fucokinase , Ribosomal protein S5 domain 2-type fold, subgroup , GHMP kinase, C-terminal
