This enzyme belongs to the family of transferases, specifically those transferring phosphorus-containing groups (phosphotransferases) 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.
