ncbi summary :
Hexokinases phosphorylate glucose to produce glucose-6-phosphate, the first step in most glucose metabolism pathways. This gene encodes hexokinase 2, the predominant form found in skeletal muscle. It localizes to the outer membrane of mitochondria. Expression of this gene is insulin-responsive, and studies in rat suggest that it is involved in the increased rate of glycolysis seen in rapidly growing cancer cells. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2009]
uniprot summary :
Catalytic activity: ATP + D-hexose = ADP + D-hexose 6-phosphate. Enzyme regulation: Hexokinase is an allosteric enzyme inhibited by its product Glc-6-P. Pathway: Carbohydrate metabolism; hexose metabolism. Subunit structure: Monomer . By similarity. Subcellular location: Mitochondrion outer membrane . By similarity. Note: Its hydrophobic N-terminal sequence may be involved in membrane binding . By similarity. Tissue specificity: Predominant hexokinase isozyme expressed in insulin-responsive tissues such as skeletal muscle. Domain: The N- and C-terminal halves of this hexokinase show extensive sequence similarity to each other. The catalytic activity is associated with the C-terminus while regulatory function is associated with the N-terminus. Each domain can bind a single glucose and Gluc-6-P molecule. Polymorphism: Although found in NIDDM patients, genetic variations of HK2 do not contribute to the disease. Miscellaneous: In vertebrates there are four major glucose-phosphorylating isoenzymes, designated hexokinase I, II, III and IV (glucokinase). Sequence similarities: Belongs to the hexokinase family.
