Gene(ID):
Expression:
P52789 HXK2_HUMAN:

Predominant hexokinase isozyme expressed in insulin-responsive tissues such as skeletal muscle.

Description:
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.

Research Backgrounds

Function:

Catalyzes the phosphorylation of hexose, such as D-glucose and D-fructose, to hexose 6-phosphate (D-glucose 6-phosphate and D-fructose 6-phosphate, respectively). Mediates the initial step of glycolysis by catalyzing phosphorylation of D-glucose to D-glucose 6-phosphate. Plays a key role in maintaining the integrity of the outer mitochondrial membrane by preventing the release of apoptogenic molecules from the intermembrane space and subsequent apoptosis.

Subcellular Location:

Mitochondrion outer membrane>Peripheral membrane protein. Cytoplasm>Cytosol.
Note: The mitochondrial-binding peptide (MBP) region promotes association with the mitochondrial outer membrane (PubMed:29298880). The interaction with the mitochondrial outer membrane via the mitochondrial-binding peptide (MBP) region promotes higher stability of the protein (PubMed:29298880). Release from the mitochondrial outer membrane into the cytosol induces permeability transition pore (PTP) opening and apoptosis (PubMed:18350175).

Tissue Specificity:

Predominant hexokinase isozyme expressed in insulin-responsive tissues such as skeletal muscle.

Family&Domains:

The N- and C-terminal halves of the protein contain a hexokinase domain (PubMed:29298880). In contrast to hexokinase-1 and -3 (HK1 and HK3, respectively), both hexokinase domains display catalytic activity (PubMed:29298880). The region connecting the two hexokinase domains is required for the catalytic activity of the N-terminal hexokinase domain (PubMed:29298880). The N-terminal half regulates stability of the whole enzyme (PubMed:29298880).

Belongs to the hexokinase family.
