SpeciesHomo sapiens (Human)
Gene Namehexokinase 2
Gene Symbol HK2
SynonymsHKII; HXK2;
Alternate nameshexokinase-2; HK II; hexokinase type II; hexokinase-2, muscle; muscle form hexokinase;

SummaryHexokinases 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. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2009]
