{"symbol":"GALK2","synonyms":["GK2"],"name":"galactokinase 2","description":"This gene encodes a highly efficient N-acetylgalactosamine (GalNAc) kinase, which has galactokinase activity when galactose is present at high concentrations. The encoded protein is a member of the GHMP kinase family. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
