Glycerol kinase, Flavobacterium meningosepticum

Glycerol kinase, Flavobacterium meningosepticum (GyK, Flavobacterium meningosepticum) is a thermostable glycerol kinase isolated from Flavobacterium meningosepticum. Glycerol kinase, Flavobacterium meningosepticum catalyzes the first step in glycerol metabolism by converting triol to glycerol-3-p (G3P) . Glycerol kinase, Flavobacterium meningosepticum is essential for regulating glycerol uptake in cells that is independent of channels or facilitators and is useful for biochemical studies[1].
