Structure
|
Primary Structure: ~461 amino acids
Secondary Structure: 12 alpha helicies, 12 beta strands
Tertiary Structure: N-Terminal Regulatory Domain, C-Terminal Catalytic Domain
Quaternary Structure: Forms a homodimer
Function
Glucose binds to hexokinase, which is then attacked by ATP. The terminal phosphate group on the ATP binds to the glucose, creating two products: glucose-6-phosphate, and ADP. Hexokinase serves as a catalyst for this reaction.

Structural highlights
The two domains of hexokinase are connected by a single alpha-helix. This creates a cleft region which acts as the active site for the enzyme.
