| Gene Summary |
Enables several functions, including D-glucose binding activity; adenyl ribonucleotide binding activity; and hexokinase activity. Involved in several processes, including hexose metabolic process; positive regulation of phosphate metabolic process; and regulation of secretion by cell. Located in several cellular components, including actin filament; basal cortex; and secretory granule. Used to study obesity; steatotic liver disease; and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in artery disease (multiple) and glucose metabolism disease (multiple). Orthologous to human GCK (glucokinase).
