Description: Hexokinase II, also known as HK2, is an enzyme which in humans is encoded by the HK2 gene on chromosome 2. Hexokinases phosphorylate glucose to produce glucose-6-phosphate, the first step in most glucose metabolism pathways. This gene encodes hexokinase ii/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: Amino acids 460-497 (AYRLADQHRARQKTLEHLQLSHDQLLEVKRRMKVEMER-human) were used as the immunogen for the Hexokinase II antibody.

Storage: After reconstitution, the Hexokinase II antibody can be stored for up to one month at 4oC. For long-term, aliquot and store at -20 °C. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing.
