ENTRY       EC 2.7.1.30
NAME        Glycerol kinase
CLASS       Transferases
            Transferring phosphorus-containing groups
            Phosphotransferases with an alcohol group as acceptor
SYSNAME     ATP:glycerol 3-phosphotransferase
REACTION    ATP + Glycerol = ADP + sn-Glycerol 3-phosphate
SUBSTRATE   ATP
            UTP
            Glycerol
            L-Glyceraldehyde
            Glycerone
PRODUCT     ADP
            sn-Glycerol 3-phosphate
COMMENT     Glycerone and L-glyceraldehyde can act as acceptors; UTP (and,
            in the case of the yeast enzyme, ITP and GTP) can act as donors.
