HK1 ELISA kits are immunoassay tools for the measurement of the protein hexokinase 1, which is encoded by the HK1 gene in humans. Functionally, this protein is known to catalyze the phosphorylation of various hexoses, such as D-glucose, D-glucosamine, D-fructose, D-mannose and 2-deoxy-D-glucose, to hexose 6-phosphate (D-glucose 6-phosphate, D-glucosamine 6-phosphate, D-fructose 6-phosphate, D-mannose 6-phosphate and 2-deoxy-D-glucose 6-phosphate, respectively). The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 917 residues, a mass of 102.5 kDa, and is a member of the Hexokinase protein family. It is known to be localized in the membrane, mitochondria, and cytoplasm. As many as 4 protein isoforms have been reported. The HK1 gene has been associated with the disease, Hexokinase deficiency. Other alias names for this target include HK1-ta, HK1-tb, HK1-tc, HKD, HKI, HMSNR, HXK1, and HK.
Some HK1 ELISA kits can detect targets at levels as low as 12.5 pg/mL and as high as 25 ng/mL. Click on the products below for more detailed ELISA kit information, such as target reactivity and assay sensitivity.
