Background
Riboflavin kinase (RFK; EC 2.7.1.26) is an essential enzyme that catalyzes the phosphorylation of riboflavin (vitamin B2) to form flavin mononucleotide (FMN), an obligatory step in vitamin B2 utilization and flavin cofactor synthesis (Karthikeyan et al., 2003 [PubMed 12623014]).[supplied by OMIM, Nov 2009],
Function
catalytic activity:ATP + riboflavin = ADP + FMN.,cofactor:Zinc or magnesium.,function:Catalyzes the phosphorylation of riboflavin (vitamin B2) to form flavin-mononucleotide (FMN).,pathway:Cofactor biosynthesis; FMN biosynthesis; FMN from riboflavin (ATP route): step 1/1.,subunit:Monomer.,tissue specificity:Detected in brain, placenta and urinary bladder.,
Fields
>>Riboflavin metabolism;>>Metabolic pathways;>>Biosynthesis of cofactors
