Hook Microtubule-Tethering Protein 3 (HOOK3) protein (His tag)
Description
Hexokinases phosphorylate glucose to produce glucose-6-phosphate, thus committing glucose to the glycolytic pathway. HK3 encodes hexokinase 3. Similar to hexokinases 1 and 2, this allosteric enzyme is inhibited by its product glucose-6-phosphate. Hexokinase3 lacks the hydrophobic N-terminal sequence critical for targeting to mitochondria. Hexpkinase3 may have anabolic functions, providing H6P for glycogen or lipid synthesis Synonyms: Hexokinase-3, EC 2.7.1.1, Hexokinase type III, HK III, HXK3, HK3
