KHK - ketohexokinase Gene
Also Known as FRUCTU
Species: Homo sapiens
About KHK
This gene has 6 transcripts (splice variants), 199 orthologues, 3 paralogues and is associated with 2 phenotypes. Biased expression in kidney (RPKM 77.2), liver (RPKM 59.5) and 2 other tissues.
Summary
This gene encodes Ketohexokinase that catalyzes conversion of fructose to fructose-1-phosphate. The product of this gene is the first enzyme with a specialized pathway that catabolizes dietary fructose. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified.
