Function

This gene is a member of the family of dihydroxyacetone kinases, which have a protein structure distinct from other kinases. The product of this gene phosphorylates dihydroxyacetone, and also catalyzes the formation of riboflavin 4',5'-phosphate (aka cyclic FMN) from FAD. Several alternatively spliced transcript variants have been identified, but the full-length nature of only one has been determined.[5]

gollark: Is that *possible*?
gollark: Clearly what we need is Rust, but with less glacially slow compiles somehow?
gollark: I am very lazy, so I try and do as little work as possible.
