Frontiers in Genetics, 2023 Hexokinase (HXK) is a bifunctional enzyme involved in carbohydrate metabolism and sugar signal sensing. HXK gene family has been extensively discussed in many species, while the detailed investigations of the family in Glycine max have yet to be reported.

Is hexokinase really a sugar sensor in plants?
, 1999 The molecular mechanisms by which plant cells sense sugar levels are not understood, but current models (adapted from models for sugar sensing in yeast) favour hexokinase as the primary sugar sensor.

Hexokinase II knockdown results in exaggerated cardiac hypertrophy via increased ROS production
EMBO Molecular Medicine, 2012 Hexokinase‐II (HKII) is highly expressed in the heart and can bind to the mitochondrial outer membrane. Since cardiac hypertrophy is associated with a substrate switch from fatty acid to glucose, we hypothesized that a reduction in HKII would decrease ...

All hexokinase isoenzymes coexist in rat hepatocytes [PDF]
, 1984 The cellular distribution of hexokinase isoenzymes, N-acetylglucosaminase kinase and pyruvate kinases in rat liver was studied. Hepatocytes and non-parenchymal cells with high viability and almost no cross-contamination were obtained by perfusion in situ

Haematologica, 2009 Background Hexokinase is one of the key enzymes of glycolysis and catalyzes the phosphorylation of glucose to glucose-6-phosphate. Red blood cell-specific hexokinase is transcribed from HK1 by use of an erythroid-specific promoter.

Activators of Yeast Hexokinase
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1971 Abstract The rate of the ATP:glucose transphosphorylase reaction catalyzed by yeast hexokinase, isozyme Pii, is inhibited by lowering the pH of the reaction below 7.0, especially at suboptimal concentrations of ATP. This effect of acidity is largely overcome by activators such as orthophosphate, citrate, malate, 3-phosphoglycerate, and riboside ...

Effect of aluminum toxicity and Bacopa monnieri on hexokinase enzyme activity in Wistar albino rats
National Journal of Physiology, Pharmacy and Pharmacology, 2018 Background: Aluminum enters human body through food and drinking, cosmetics, and occupational exposures. Aluminum (Al) is a highly neurotoxic element causes neuronal degeneration in humans as well as in animals.

Intracellular distribution of hexokinase in rabbit brain
, 1993 Hexokinase in mammalian brain is particulate and usually considered to be bound to the outer mitochondrial membrane. Investigation of rabbit brain mitochondria prepared either by differential centrifugation and discontinuous density gradient ...
