Scientists have deciphered a mechanism to prevent programmed cell ... regulated by a key enzyme of sugar metabolism, the so-called hexokinase II. This enzyme alters the sugar nutrient glucose ...

A mechanism in the cells that line our blood ... because an enzyme that metabolises glucose in these cells, called hexokinase-2 (HK2), degrades more slowly in high glucose concentration and ...

Hexokinase (HK), by catalyzing phosphorylation of glucose to glucose-6-phosphate, is the first rate-limiting enzyme in glucose utilization. Four main HK isozymes, HK1, HK2, HK3 and HK4 ...
