It has a molecular mass of approximately 102 kDa. This protein is ubiquitously expressed with higher levels in the liver pancreas and certain fetal tissues. HKDC1 plays an important role in maintaining glucose homeostasis particularly under conditions that require enhanced glucose utilization.\u003cbr\u003e\nBiological function summary\u003cbr\u003e\nHexokinase Domain Containing 1 functions as part of the hexokinase enzyme family contributing to the first step of glycolysis. It might not form a complex but shares similar activity with other hexokinase family members supporting cellular energy supply. The presence of HKDC1 in various tissues suggests its involvement in both normal and stress-related metabolic regulation adapting the cell’s energy production to different physiological demands.\u003cbr\u003e\nPathways\u003cbr\u003e\nThe activity of HKDC1 is integrated into the glycolytic pathway and indirectly affects the insulin signaling pathway. In glycolysis it links to glucokinase and other hexokinase enzymes playing a part in glucose metabolism and energy generation within the cell. Its activity impacts the homeostatic control of glucose concentration suggesting a regulatory role in maintaining the balance between energy input and output in metabolic pathways.\u003cbr\u003e\nMutations or altered expression of HKDC1 could be linked to metabolic syndromes such as diabetes and gestational diabetes mellitus. Aberrant HKDC1 function may disturb glucose homeostasis leading to these conditions. Moreover connection with other proteins like GCK which also participates in glucose phosphorylation highlights its potential importance in metabolic diseases indicating that HKDC1 might be a target for therapeutic interventions.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Abcam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46854140330153,"sku":"ab228729","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/products\/abcam-ab228729","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
