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.
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 .
Physical form
Supplied in a solution containing 20 mM Tris pH 8.0 and 10% glycerol.
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.

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

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

The AKT and ERK signaling pathways are known to be involved in cell hypertrophy, proliferation, survival and differentiation. Although there is evidence for crosstalk between these two signaling pathways in cellulo, there is less evidence for cross talk in vivo.

Patients with recurrent/metastatic endometrial cancer that progresses after chemotherapy have limited treatment options and poor outcomes. Preclinical data suggest the oral mammalian target of rapamycin inhibitor everolimus may provide clinical benefit in these patients. In this multicenter, open-label, phase 2
