Background
Hexokinases phosphorylate glucose to produce glucose-6-phosphate, the first step in most glucose metabolism pathways. This gene encodes hexokinase 2, the predominant form found in skeletal muscle. It localizes to the outer membrane of mitochondria. Expression of this gene is insulin-responsive, and studies in rat suggest that it is involved in the increased rate of glycolysis seen in rapidly growing cancer cells.,HK2,HKII,HXK2,hexokinase-2,Cancer,Signal Transduction,Endocrine & Metabolism,Carbohydrate metabolism,Warburg Effect,Cardiovascular,Heart,Cardiac metabolism,HK2
