N-acetylhexosamine 1-kinase (, NahK, LnpB, N-acetylgalactosamine/N-acetylglucosamine 1-kinase) is an enzyme with systematic name ATP:N-acetyl-D-hexosamine 1-phosphotransferase. This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

 ATP + N-acetyl-D-hexosamine  ADP + N-acetyl-alpha-D-hexosamine 1-phosphate
