HEXOKINASE Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

White powder

Uses

Biochemical research.

Uses

Hexokinase is used to catalyzes the phosphorylation of D-hexose sugars at the C6 position utilizing, ATP as a phosphate source. Used to determine glucose, fructose, mannose and ATP.

Uses

Hexokinase has been used:

• for digesting glucose for measuring glucose content in the root and stem samples of Quercus velutina
• to treat ADP (adenosine diphosphate) solution along with D-glucose to remove the contaminating ATP (adenosine triphosphate)
• in 4-(2-hydroxyethyl)-1-piperazineethanesulfonic acid buffer (pH 7.5) for ADP-[13CU]glucose synthesis

Definition

An enzyme that catalyzes the formation of adenosine diphosphate and hexose-6phosphate from adenosine triphosphate and glucose or fructose.

General Description

ATP:D-hexose 6-phosphotransferase

Biochem/physiol Actions

Hexokinase catalyzes the conversion of hexoses to hexose-6-phosphate in an ATP-dependent manner. It is also called as the glycolytic enzyme as it catalyzes the first step in glucose metabolism with the formation of glucose-6-phosphate (G6P). In eukaryotes, it functions as a glucose sensor.
