UniProt Comments
Kinase involved in the activation and reutilization of phytol from chlorophyll degradation in plant metabolism, including tocopherol biosynthesis. Catalyzes the conversion of phytol to phytol monophosphate (PMP) in the presence of CTP or UTP. No activity with ATP or GTP as phosphoryl donnor.
