General Information

General Information Comment Organism
metabolism glucokinase contributes to the reprogramming of energy metabolism in cancer cells. Activating glucokinase variations substantially increase affinity of the enzyme to glucose, disrupt the otherwise characteristic sigmoidal response to glucose and/or prolong the enzyme half-life. This, combined, facilitates glucose phosphorylation, thus supporting glycolysis and associated pathways Homo sapiens
