Anti-HKII antibodies are used in antigen-specific immunodetection in biological samples. The target HKII is a known alias name of the protein hexokinase 2, encoded by the HK2 gene in humans. This 917-amino acid residue protein is known to catalyze the phosphorylation of hexose, such as D-glucose and D-fructose, to hexose 6-phosphate (D-glucose 6-phosphate and D-fructose 6-phosphate, respectively). It is localized to the membrane, mitochondria, and cytoplasm of the cell. It is reported to be widely expressed in many tissue types. The term HXK2 is another synonym for HKII. Western Blot is the most common application for the HKII antibodies listed below. ELISA and Immunohistochemistry are also common applications.
