Record overview

MGPD IDMGP001749
Gene ID3795
SpeciesHomo sapiens (Human)
Gene Nameketohexokinase (fructokinase)
Gene Symbol KHK
Alternate namesketohexokinase; hepatic fructokinase;
Chromosome2
Map Location2p23.3
EC Number2.7.1.3
SummaryThis gene encodes ketohexokinase that catalyzes conversion of fructose to fructose-1-phosphate. The product of this gene is the first enzyme with a specialized pathway that catabolizes dietary fructose. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified.
