2.7.1.1 |
Accepted name: |
hexokinase |
Reaction: |
ATP + D-hexose = ADP + D-hexose 6-phosphate |
Other name(s): |
hexokinase type IV glucokinase; hexokinase D; hexokinase type IV; hexokinase (phosphorylating); ATP-dependent hexokinase; glucose ATP phosphotransferase |
Systematic name: |
ATP:D-hexose 6-phosphotransferase |
Comments: |
D-Glucose, D-mannose, D-fructose, sorbitol and D-glucosamine can act as acceptors; ITP and dATP can act as donors. The liver isoenzyme has sometimes been called glucokinase. |
