GlycoErase™ HK2 Knockout CHO-K1 Cell Line (CAT#: GLJF-0825-JF295)

Description	GlycoErase™ HK2 knockout CHO-K1 cell line is a CHO-K1 model lacking HK2 expression. HK2 encodes the predominant skeletal muscle isoform of hexokinase, localized to mitochondria and responsive to insulin. It is highly expressed in cancer cells, supporting rapid glycolysis. Knockout of HK2 in CHO-K1 enables research on tumor metabolism, insulin signaling, and energy homeostasis, providing a platform for oncology and metabolic drug discovery.

Target	HK2
Full Name	Hexokinase 2
Alternative Name	HKII; HXK2
Location	2p12
Gene ID	3099
Summary	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.
