HK2 (Hexokinase II) Antibody [AMM22224G]

HK2 (Hexokinase II) Antibody [AMM22224G] | Gentaur UK, US & Europe Distribution

Product Category: Monoclonal Antibodies

Host: Mouse

Species Reactivity: H

Specificity: This HK2 (Hexokinase II) antibody is generated from a mouse immunized with a recombinant protein between 1-170 amino acids from human HK2 (Hexokinase II) .

Cellular Localisation: Mitochondrion outer membrane; Peripheral membrane protein. Cytoplasm, cytosol Note=The mitochondrial-binding peptide (MBP) region promotes association with the mitochondrial outer membrane (PubMed:29298880) The interaction with the mitochondrial outer membrane via the mitochondrial-binding peptide (MBP) region promotes higher stability of the protein (PubMed:29298880) . Release from the mitochondrial outer membrane into the cytosol induces permeability transition pore (PTP) opening and apoptosis (PubMed:18350175) .

Molecular Weight: 102380

Clone: Monoclonal

Gene Name: HK2 (HGNC:4923)

Gene ID: 3099

Function: Catalyzes the phosphorylation of hexose, such as D-glucose and D-fructose, to hexose 6-phosphate (D-glucose 6-phosphate and D- fructose 6-phosphate, respectively) (PubMed:23185017, PubMed:26985301, PubMed:29298880) . Mediates the initial step of glycolysis by catalyzing phosphorylation of D-glucose to D-glucose 6-phosphate (PubMed:29298880) . Plays a key role in maintaining the integrity of the outer mitochondrial membrane by preventing the release of apoptogenic molecules from the intermembrane space and subsequent apoptosis (PubMed:18350175) .

Summary: Tissue Location: Predominant hexokinase isozyme expressed in insulin-responsive tissues such as skeletal muscle
