ANTI-HEXOKINASE II ANTIBODY PRODUCED IN+

General description

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.

Immunogen

Recombinant fusion protein containing a sequence corresponding to amino acids 1-120 of human HK2 (NP_000180.2).

Physical form

PBS with 0.02% sodium azide,50% glycerol,pH7.3.

Storage and Stability

Store at -20℃. Avoid freeze / thaw cycles.
