GCK ELISA kits are immunoassay tools for the measurement of the protein glucokinase, which is encoded by the GCK gene in humans. Functionally, 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. It is known to be localized in the nucleus, mitochondria, and cytoplasm. As many as 3 protein isoforms have been reported. The GCK gene has been associated with the disease, Maturity-onset diabetes of the young. Other alias names for this target include GK, GLK, HHF3, HK4, HKIV, HXKP, LGLK, and FGQTL3.
Some GCK ELISA kits can detect targets at levels as low as 10 ng/L and as high as 400 ng/mL. Click on the products below for more detailed ELISA kit information, such as target reactivity and assay sensitivity.
