Comment typeDescription
Catalytic ActivityATP + D-hexose = ADP + D-hexose 6-phosphate.
DomainThe N- and C-terminal halves of this hexokinase show extensive sequence similarity to each other. The catalytic activity is associated with the C-terminus while regulatory function is associated with the N-terminus.
Enzyme RegulationHexokinase is an allosteric enzyme inhibited by its product Glc-6-P.
MiscellaneousIn vertebrates there are four major glucose- phosphorylating isoenzymes, designated hexokinase I, II, III and IV (glucokinase).
PathwayCarbohydrate metabolism; hexose metabolism.
SimilarityBelongs to the hexokinase family. {ECO:0000305}.
SimilarityContains 2 hexokinase type-1 domains. {ECO:0000305}.
SimilarityContains 2 hexokinase type-2 domains. {ECO:0000305}.
SubunitMonomer. {ECO:0000250}.
