Drosophila melanogaster
-
there are five glycerol kinase-like genes in Drosophila melanogaster. The locus CG18374, located at 61B2, is the closest homolog to the X-linked glycosyl kinase gene in Homo sapiens, sharing 53% identity. Another close homolog CG7995 (located at 62B1) shares 48% homology to the human glycerol kinase. Three other loci CG1271 at 63A3, CG1216 at 61B2, and CG8298 at 48D5 do not share the same degree of homology. Most key functional residues are missing in CG1216 suggesting it has no glycerol kinase activity.; there are five glycerol kinase-like genes in Drosophila melanogaster.
