Gene information for GCKR (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID2646
Official gene symbolGCKR
Full nameglucokinase (hexokinase 4) regulator
Aliases,GKRP,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes a protein belonging to the GCKR subfamily of the SIS (Sugar ISomerase) family of proteins. The gene product is a regulatory protein that inhibits glucokinase in liver and pancreatic islet cells by binding non-covalently to form an inactive complex with the enzyme. This gene is considered a susceptibility gene candidate for a form of maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY). [provided by RefSeq]
