GCKR blocking peptide
GCKR Immunizing Peptide
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
This gene encodes a protein belonging to the GCKR subfamily of the SIS (Sugar ISomerase) family of proteins. The gene product is a regulatory protein that inhibits glucokinase in liver and pancreatic islet cells by binding non-covalently to form an inactive complex with the enzyme. This gene is considered a susceptibility gene candidate for a form of maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY). [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
Uniprot Description
GCKR: a key regulator of glucokinase in the liver and pancreas. Not detected in muscle, brain, heart, thymus, intestine, uterus, adipose tissue, kidney, adrenal, lung or spleen. When expressed alone, both glucokinase and GCKR localize predominantly to the cytoplasm. Co-expression induces both proteins to localize in the nucleus.
Protein type: Inhibitor
Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 2p23
Cellular Component: cytoplasm; cytosol; nucleoplasm
Molecular Function: carbohydrate binding; protein binding
Biological Process: carbohydrate metabolic process; negative regulation of glucokinase activity; protein import into nucleus, translocation; response to fructose stimulus; urate metabolic process
Disease: Fasting Plasma Glucose Level Quantitative Trait Locus 5

Product Notes
The GCKR gckr (Catalog #AAA426333) is a Blocking Peptide and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The GCKR Immunizing Peptide reacts with Human, Mouse, Rat and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. The amino acid sequence is listed below: KRFQHVIETP EPGK -C. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "GCKR, Blocking Peptide" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
