GlycoErase™ HK2 Knockout Glycoengineered Cell (CAT#: GLJF-0825-JF30)

Description	GlycoErase™ HK2 knockout glycoengineered cell disrupts hexokinase 2, the predominant skeletal muscle isoform that phosphorylates glucose to glucose-6-phosphate at the mitochondrial outer membrane. HK2 is insulin-responsive and linked to enhanced glycolysis in cancer cells. This model supports studies of glucose metabolism and tumor biology.

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.
