FN3K Rabbit Polyclonal Antibody

A high concentration of glucose can result in non-enzymatic oxidation of proteins by reaction of glucose and lysine residues (glycation) . Proteins modified in this way, fructosamines, are less active or functional. This gene encodes an enzyme which catalyzes the phosphorylation of fructosamines which may result in deglycation. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2012], function:May initiate a process leading to the deglycation of fructoselysine and of glycated proteins. May play a role in the phosphorylation of 1-deoxy-1-morpholinofructose (DMF), fructoselysine, fructoseglycine, fructose and glycated lysozyme., similarity:Belongs to the fructosamine kinase family., subunit:Monomer., tissue specificity:Expressed in erythrocytes.
