About Gck

Chromosome 11: 5,850,820-5,900,081 reverse strand.GRCm39:CM001004.3

This gene has 4 transcripts (splice variants), 214 orthologues, 4 paralogues and is associated with 43 phenotypes. Biased expression in liver adult (RPKM 44.2), liver E18 (RPKM 7.5) and 1 other tissue.

Summary

Enables Glucokinase activity. Involved in calcium ion import; cellular glucose homeostasis; and positive regulation of Insulin secretion. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including carbohydrate phosphorylation; glucose homeostasis; and regulation of Insulin secretion. Located in cytosol; mitochondrion; and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; musculoskeletal system; reproductive system; and sensory organ. Used to study familial hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia 3; hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia; maturity-onset diabetes of the young type 2; and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in artery disease (multiple); familial hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia 3; and glucose metabolism disease (multiple). Orthologous to human GCK (Glucokinase).
