The following Glucokinase ELISA kits are useful research tools for the measurement of glucokinase in biological samples. In humans this protein is encoded by the GCK gene. This protein is known to catalyze the phosphorylation of hexose, such as D-glucose, D-fructose and D-mannose, to hexose 6-phosphate (D-glucose 6-phosphate, D-fructose 6-phosphate and D-mannose 6-phosphate, respectively). The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 465 residues, a mass of 52.2 kDa, and is a member of the Hexokinase protein family. Its subcellular location is known to be in the nucleus, mitochondria, and cytoplasm. As many as 3 protein isoforms have been reported. The gene encoding this protein has been associated with the disease, Maturity-onset diabetes of the young. This protein may also be known as GK, GLK, HHF3, HK4, HKIV, HXKP, LGLK, and FGQTL3.
The detection range for different glucokinase ELISA kits can vary, with some assays measuring target concentrations as low as 10 ng/L and as high as 150 ng/mL.
