Gene:
hexokinase 3 (white cell)
Gene ID:
209764
Symbol:
HK3
Species:
1000
Description:
Hexokinases phosphorylate glucose to produce glucose-6-phosphate, thus committing glucose to the glycolytic pathway. This gene encodes hexokinase 3. Similar to hexokinases 1 and 2, this allosteric enzyme is inhibited by its product glucose-6-phosphate.
