Anhydro-N-acetylmuramic acid kinase (EC 2.7.1.170, anhMurNAc kinase, AnmK) is an enzyme with systematic name ATP:1,6-anhydro-N-acetyl-beta-muramate 6-phosphotransferase. This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

ATP + 1,6-anhydro-N-acetyl-beta-muramate + H₂O ⇌ ADP + N-acetylmuramate 6-phosphate

This enzyme is required for the utilization of anhydro-N-acetylmuramic acid in proteobacteria.
