Ketohexokinase/KHK Protein, Human (HEK293, His)

Ketohexokinase (KHK) proteins play a key role in carbohydrate metabolism by catalyzing the phosphorylation of ketoglycosides into fructose-1-phosphate. This enzyme activity is a key step in the utilization and processing of fructose within cells. Ketohexokinase/KHK Protein, Human (HEK293, His) is the recombinant human-derived Ketohexokinase/KHK protein, expressed by HEK293 , with C-6*His labeled tag. The total length of Ketohexokinase/KHK Protein, Human (HEK293, His) is 298 a.a., with molecular weight of ~30.0 kDa.

The Ketohexokinase (KHK) protein is a crucial enzyme that catalyzes the phosphorylation of the ketose sugar fructose, converting it to fructose-1-phosphate. This phosphorylation reaction represents a key step in fructose metabolism and is pivotal for regulating various cellular processes. By initiating the conversion of fructose to fructose-1-phosphate, KHK plays a central role in diverting fructose away from glycolysis and towards alternative metabolic pathways. This enzyme is particularly important in the liver, where it contributes to the regulation of fructose metabolism and its potential impact on lipogenesis and triglyceride synthesis. Understanding the functions of KHK provides insights into the molecular mechanisms governing fructose utilization and its implications for metabolic homeostasis.

The enzyme activity of this recombinant protein is testing in progress, we cannot offer a guarantee yet.
