hexokinaz
Hexokinaz is not a standardly recognized term in contemporary biochemistry. It may be a misspelling or variant of hexokinase, an enzyme that phosphorylates hexose sugars in the first step of glycolysis. In most biochemical literature, hexokinase refers to a family of isoenzymes rather than a single protein.
Hexokinase catalyzes the transfer of a terminal phosphate from ATP to the 6-hydroxyl group of a hexose,
Regulation and localization: Mammals express four hexokinase isozymes: HK1, HK2, HK3, and HK4 (glucokinase). HK1 and
Clinical and research relevance: Hexokinase activity is a point of intervention in metabolic disorders and cancer;
