Abstract
Mevalonate kinase ( 2.7.1.36 ) and galactokinases ( 2.7.1.6 ) belong to this family. Mevalonate kinase may be a regulatory site in the cholesterol biosynthetic pathway. It is also involved in mevalonate catabolism. Galactokinase takes part in the first reaction of galactose metabolism by converting galactose to galactose-1-phosphate.
