Hexokinase Type 1
Hexokinase Type 1 is one of four hexokinase isoenzymes that participate glycolysis. Hexokinase catalyzes the phosphorylation of glucose into glucose-6-phosphate (G6P) providing enough activation energy for the glycolytic process to start. Thus hexokinase allows the muscle cells to take up glucose in the blood and use it as an energy source for different actions and expenditures. Hexokinase Type 1 is mainly found in mammalian tissues; it is crucial enzyme in maintaining a downward concentration gradient to provide a steady influx of glucose into cells.
