| Function: | |
Acts on GalNAc. Also acts as a galactokinase when galactose is present at high concentrations. May be involved in a salvage pathway for the reutilization of free GalNAc derived from the degradation of complex carbohydrates. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16006554}. |

| Catalytic activity: | |
Reaction=ATP + N-acetyl-alpha-D-galactosamine = ADP + H(+) + N-acetyl- alpha-D-galactosamine 1-phosphate; Xref=Rhea:RHEA:12617, ChEBI:CHEBI:15378, ChEBI:CHEBI:30616, ChEBI:CHEBI:40356, ChEBI:CHEBI:61970, ChEBI:CHEBI:456216; EC=2.7.1.157; |
| Subunit: | |
