Product Name :
GCKR (R227) Peptide Applications :
Blocking Background :
Glucokinase (also designated hexokinase IV or GCK) plays a key role in the regulation of glucose-induced insulin secretion. GCK is expressed in pancreatic beta cells, where it functions as a glucose sensor, determining the “set point” for insulin secretion. GCK is also expressed in the liver, where it catalyzes the first step in the disposal of glucose. A lack of glucokinase activity leads to reduced insulin secretion and hyperglycemia and has been implicated as a cause for maturity onset diabetes of the youth (MODY). Heterozygous point mutations in the gene encoding GCK have been detected in individuals suffering from MODY. GCK is regulated by GCKR (glucokinase regulatory protein). GCKR is a 68 kDa protein which is expressed in pancreatic beta cells and in the liver. Alternative Name :
Glucokinase regulatory protein; Glucokinase regulator; GCKR Swiss-Prot :
Q14397 Product :
