Protein

Hexokinase-2

Gene

HK2

Organism
Homo sapiens (Human)
Status
Reviewed-Annotation score: -Experimental evidence at protein leveli

Functioni

Miscellaneous

In vertebrates there are four major glucose-phosphorylating isoenzymes, designated hexokinase I, II, III and IV (glucokinase).

Catalytic activityi

ATP + D-hexose = ADP + D-hexose 6-phosphate.

Activity regulationi

Hexokinase is an allosteric enzyme inhibited by its product Glc-6-P.

Pathwayi: hexose metabolism

This protein is involved in the pathway hexose metabolism, which is part of Carbohydrate metabolism.
View all proteins of this organism that are known to be involved in the pathway hexose metabolism and in Carbohydrate metabolism.
