Anti-HK3 Antibody Picoband®

Hexokinases phosphorylate glucose to produce glucose-6-phosphate, the first step in most glucose metabolism pathways. This gene encodes hexokinase 3. Similar to hexokinases 1 and 2, this allosteric enzyme is inhibited by its product glucose-6-phosphate.

E.coli-derived human HK3 recombinant protein (Position: M1-K789) . Human HK3shares 84.7% and 84.8% amino acid (aa) sequence identity with mouse and rat HK3, respectively.
