General Information | Comment | Organism |

drug target | the identification of structural and biochemical differences between HK2 and other human hexokinase isozymes could potentially be used in the development of new anticancer therapies | Homo sapiens |
metabolism | the high proliferation rate of tumor cells demands high energy and metabolites that are sustained by a high glycolytic flux known as the Warburg effect. The activation and further metabolism of glucose is initiated by hexokinase, a focal point of metabolic regulation | Homo sapiens |
physiological function | hexokinase 2 is overexpressed in all aggressive tumors and predominantly found on the outer mitochondrial membrane, where interactions through its N-terminus initiates and maintains tumorigenesis | Homo sapiens |
