tag-96 encodes a galactokinase that is a member of the GHMP family of kinases and closely related to the vertebrate galactokinase 2 (GALK2) carbohydrate kinases.
Predicted to enable galactokinase activity. Predicted to be involved in galactose metabolic process. Predicted to be located in cytosol. Is an ortholog of human GALK2 (galactokinase 2).
Map position created from combination of previous interpolated map position (based on known location of sequence) and allele information. Therefore this is not a genetic map position based on recombination frequencies or genetic experiments. This was done on advice of the CGC.
