GlycoErase™ HK2 knockout HepG2 cell line eliminates HK2, the insulin-responsive, mitochondria-associated hexokinase isoform highly expressed in tumors to drive aerobic glycolysis. This knockout provides a model to study hepatic insulin signaling, tumor metabolism, and energy regulation, supporting applications in oncology and metabolic drug discovery.

Hexokinase 2 is the main skeletal muscle isoform responsible for phosphorylating glucose to form glucose-6-phosphate, the initial step in most glucose metabolic pathways. It associates with the outer mitochondrial membrane and its expression responds to insulin levels. Studies in rats indicate its involvement in elevated glycolytic rates in rapidly proliferating cancer cells.
