Beta-glucoside kinase is the broad-specificity beta-D-glucoside-utilization kinase. It phosphorylates cellobiose and other beta-D-glucosides on the glucose 6-position, releasing ADP and 6-phospho-beta-D-glucosyl-(1->4)-D-glucose; GTP, CTP, ITP and UTP can also act as donors. It occurs in viruses and cellular organisms.
