Hepatic fructokinase (or ketohexokinase) is an enzyme that catalyzes the phosphorylation of fructose to produce fructose-1-phosphate.


ATP + Fru  <math>\longrightarrow</math>  ADP + F1P
ATP + D-fructose → ADP + D-fructose-1-phosphate[1]

Pathology

A deficiency is associated with essential fructosuria.
