Pantothenate kinase

FunctionFunction

Pantothenate kinase (PanK) phosphorylates pantothenate (vitamin B5) (PAU) to form 4’-phosphopantothenate (PPT) using ATP as phosphate source. This is the first step in coenzyme A biosynthesis^[1].

Three types of PanK are known.

PanK I found in bacteria
PanK II found mostly in eukaryotes
PanK III found in bacteria and known as CoaX.

DiseaseDisease

Mutations in PanK II cause the autosomal-recessive disorder Pantothenate kinase-associated neurodegeneration^[2].
