In [[enzymology]], an '''alkylglycerol kinase''' ({{EC number|2.7.1.93}}) is an [[enzyme]] that [[catalysis|catalyzes]] the [[chemical reaction]]

:ATP + 1-O-alkyl-sn-[[glycerol]] <math>\rightleftharpoons</math> ADP + 1-O-alkyl-sn-glycerol 3-phosphate

Thus, the two [[substrate (biochemistry)|substrates]] of this enzyme are [[adenosine triphosphate|ATP]] and [[1-O-alkyl-sn-glycerol]], whereas its two [[product (chemistry)|products]] are [[adenosine diphosphate|ADP]] and [[1-O-alkyl-sn-glycerol 3-phosphate]].

This enzyme belongs to the family of [[transferase]]s, specifically those transferring phosphorus-containing groups ([[phosphotransferase]]s) with an alcohol group as acceptor. The systematic name of this enzyme class is '''ATP:1-O-alkyl-sn-glycerol 3-phosphotransferase'''. Other names in common use include '''1-alkylglycerol kinase (phosphorylating)''', '''ATP-alkylglycerol phosphotransferase''', '''alkylglycerol phosphotransferase''', and '''ATP: 1-alkyl-sn-glycerol phosphotransferase'''. This enzyme participates in [[ether lipid metabolism]].
