Application
Hexokinase 2 (HK2) is a glycolytic enzyme that is crucial for the Warburg effect, which is the increased rate of glycolysis seen in rapidly growing cancer cells. HK2 may be used in cancer research to study human glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), which is the most common malignant brain tumor . HK2 may be a potential therapeutic target for breast cancer as HK2 overexpression is associated with metastasis to the brain .
Biochem/physiol Actions
Hexokinases phosphorylate glucose to produce glucose-6-phosphate, thus committing glucose to the glycolytic pathway. Hexokinase 2 is involved in glucose metabolism and apoptosis .
General description
Hexokinase 2 is the predominant form found in skeletal muscle.
Hexokinases phosphorylate glucose to produce glucose-6-phosphate, thus committing glucose to the glycolytic pathway. Hexokinase 2 is the predominant form found in skeletal muscle.
Other Notes
One unit will produce 1.0 μmole NADPH per minute as glucose is phosphorylated by ATP at pH 7.4 at 30 deg C.
Physical form
Supplied in a solution containing 20 mM Tris pH 8.0 and 10% glycerol.

Proliferating embryonic and cancer cells preferentially use aerobic glycolysis to support growth, a metabolic alteration commonly referred to as the "Warburg effect." Here, we show that the glycolytic enzyme hexokinase 2 (HK2) is crucial for the Warburg effect in human

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) regulate dendritogenesis and plasticity. However, the biological function of miRNAs in axons has not been extensively investigated. Here, using rat primary cortical neurons cultured in a microfluidic chamber, we found that the distal axons of the neurons expressed

The prevalence of intestinal neuroendocrine tumours, also known as carcinoid tumours, has increased significantly over the past three decades. Tumours of the distal small intestine (midgut) are often indolent, but are characterized by a high potential to metastasize to the

Neural circuits are regulated by activity-dependent feedback systems that tightly control network excitability and which are thought to be crucial for proper brain development. Defects in the ability to establish and maintain network homeostasis may be central to the pathogenesis
