Catalog No. A87765

main product photo
Glucokinase is a glucose-phosphorylating enzyme that plays a critical role in glucose homeostasis. It functions as a glucose sensor in pancreatic β-cells, regulating the conversion of glucose to glycogen and participating in gluconeogenesis. In mammals, glucokinase can also phosphorylate other hexoses, such as mannose and fructose. This enzyme is a key target in diabetes research, offering insights into metabolic regulation and potential therapeutic interventions.
