Reaction: ATP + acarbose = ADP + acarbose 7IV-phosphate
Glossary: acarbose = 4,6-dideoxy-4-{[(1S,4R,5S,6S)-4,5,6-trihydroxy-3-(hydroxymethyl)-2-cyclohexen-1-yl]amino}-α-D-glucopyranosyl-(1→4)-α-D-glucopyranosyl-(1→4)-β-D-glucopyranose
Other name(s): acarbose 7-kinase; AcbK
Systematic name: ATP:acarbose 7IV-phosphotransferase
Comments: The enzyme, characterized from the bacterium Actinoplanes sp. SE50/110, is specific for acarbose.
