NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
Hexokinases phosphorylate glucose to produce glucose-6-phosphate, the first step in most glucose metabolism pathways. This gene encodes a ubiquitous form of hexokinase which localizes to the outer membrane of mitochondria. Mutations in this gene have been associated with hemolytic anemia due to hexokinase deficiency. Alternative splicing of this gene results in several transcript variants which encode different isoforms, some of which are tissue-specific. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2016]
Uniprot Description
HK1: a glycolytic enzyme that catalyzes the reaction ATP + D-hexose = ADP + D-hexose 6-phosphate. The first and rate-limiting step in glycosis, a pathway that produces energy in the form of ATP from glucose. An allosteric enzyme inhibited by its product glucose-6-phosphate (Glc-6-P). HK-2 and its mitochondrial receptor (VDAC) play the most pivotal and direct roles in the ""Warburg effect"". Acts as a ""glucose sensor"" by trapping glucose inside the cell by catalyzing its phosphorylation to produce Glc-6-P. In vertebrates there are four major glucose-phosphorylating isoenzymes, designated hexokinase I, II, III and IV (glucokinase). Four human isoforms are produced by alternative splicing and alternative initiation. Isoform HK1 is markedly elevated in rapidly growing tumor cells exhibiting high glucose catabolic rates. HK1 is present in most tissues but is especially prominent in brain and kidney. Isoform HK1-SC is is an integral membrane protein detected in round spermatids, condensing spermatids and mature sperm where it is found in the head membranes, mitochondria of the midpiece and the fibrous sheath of the flagellum. Isoform HK1-SA is first expressed during meiosis and continues to be present in postmeiotic germ cells while isoform HK1-SB is present only in postmeiotic germ cells.

Product Notes
The HEX1 hk1 (Catalog #AAA6381012) is an Antibody produced from Rabbit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The Hexokinase 1 (Hexokinase-1, Hexokinase Type I, HEX1, HK I, HKI, HK1, HK1-ta, HK1-tb, HK1-tc, HXK1, Brain Form Hexokinase) (AP) reacts with Human, Rat and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. AAA Biotech's Hexokinase 1 can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Western Blot (WB). Applications are based on unconjugated antibody. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the HEX1 hk1 for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Hexokinase 1, Polyclonal Antibody" 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
