About HK2

Cytogenetic location: 2p12 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 2:74,834,127-74,893,359 (from NCBI)

This gene has 3 transcripts (splice variants), 217 orthologues and 4 paralogues. Broad expression in fat (RPKM 34.4), colon (RPKM 24.2) and 19 other tissues.

Summary

Hexokinases 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]
