Hexoses 28-34 glucokinase Homo sapiens 60-71 2970227-5 1988 Two explanations have been proposed: 1) glucokinase, which has the same anomeric preference, is the principal hexose phosphorylating enzyme and limits glycolytic rate. Hexoses 110-116 glucokinase Homo sapiens 40-51 8904921-2 1996 In terms of physiology, emphasis is placed on the relevance of glucokinase to hexose-induced insulin release, protein-to-protein interaction and enzyme-to-enzyme channelling, and the preferential stimulation of mitochondrial oxidative events in glucose-stimulated B-cells. Hexoses 78-84 glucokinase Homo sapiens 63-74 7730377-10 1995 The results implicate a dual role for Ser-151 as a determinant of hexose affinity and catalysis, exclusive of the glucose-induced conformational change, and suggest that the low hexose affinity of glucokinase is dependent on interaction of Ser-151 with other regions of the protein. Hexoses 178-184 glucokinase Homo sapiens 197-208 8679719-0 1996 Kinetics and specificity of human B-cell glucokinase: relevance to hexose-induced insulin release. Hexoses 67-73 glucokinase Homo sapiens 41-52 8679719-1 1996 The present study reevaluates the relevance of human B-cell glucokinase activity to the process of hexose-induced insulin release. Hexoses 99-105 glucokinase Homo sapiens 60-71 7961659-8 1994 The results 1) confirm the predictions of the model that Asn-204, Glu-256, and Glu-290 are important residues involved in catalysis and hydrogen bonding glucose hydroxyl groups, 2) provide evidence for a role of Lys-56 in hexose binding, and 3) are consistent with the cooperative behavior of glucokinase being mediated by interactions of other regions of the protein with the highly conserved active site glucose binding residues. Hexoses 222-228 glucokinase Homo sapiens 293-304 2189759-2 1990 Glucokinase explains the capacity, hexose specificity, affinities, sigmoidicity, and anomeric preference of pancreatic islet glycolysis, and because stimulation of glucose metabolism is a prerequisite of glucose stimulation of insulin release, glucokinase also explains many characteristics of this beta-cell function.
