(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID3101
Official gene symbolHK3
Full namehexokinase 3 (white cell)
Aliases,HKIII,HXK3,
Gene summaryHexokinases 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. [provided by RefSeq]
