Gene Details: GCK
1 / 1
General Information
Gene Name: GCK (Hexokinase-4)
Synonym:
Short Names: HK4;
Alternative Names: Glucokinase;Hexokinase type IV;Hexokinase-D;
Notes:
- HK4 catalyzes the phosphorylation of hexose, such as D-glucose, D-fructose and D-mannose, to corresponding hexose 6-phosphate.
- Mainly expressed in pancreas and liver, it exhibits weak affinity for D-glucose compared to other hexokinases.
