About RFK
This gene has 6 transcripts (splice variants) and 253 orthologues. Ubiquitous expression in colon (RPKM 20.2), duodenum (RPKM 17.4) and 25 other tissues.
Summary
Riboflavin kinase (RFK; EC 2.7.1.26) is an essential enzyme that catalyzes the phosphorylation of riboflavin (vitamin B2) to form flavin mononucleotide (FMN), an obligatory step in vitamin B2 utilization and flavin cofactor synthesis (Karthikeyan et al., 2003 [PubMed 12623014]).[supplied by OMIM, Nov 2009]
