Gene: HK3

Alternate names for this Gene: HKIII|HXK3

Gene Summary: Hexokinases phosphorylate glucose to produce glucose-6-phosphate, the first step in most glucose metabolism pathways. This gene encodes hexokinase 3. Similar to hexokinases 1 and 2, this allosteric enzyme is inhibited by its product glucose-6-phosphate.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 5

Location in Chromosome : 5q35.2

Description of this Gene: hexokinase 3

Type of Gene: protein-coding
