Recombinant Human HK2, His-tagged

• Cat.No.: HK2-13807H
• Product Overview: Recombinant Human HK2 protein, fused to His-tag, was expressed in E.coli and purified by Ni-sepharose.

Specification

• Description: Hexokinases phosphorylate glucose to produce glucose-6-phosphate, the first step in most glucose metabolism pathways. This gene encodes hexokinase 2, the predominant form found in skeletal muscle. It localizes to the outer membrane of mitochondria. Expression of this gene is insulin-responsive, and studies in rat suggest that it is involved in the increased rate of glycolysis seen in rapidly growing cancer cells.
• Source: E.coli
• Species: Human
• Tag: His
• Protein length: C-term-350a.a.
• Storage: The protein is stored in PBS buffer at -20℃. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing cycles.
