Hexokinase from Saccharomyces cerevisiae
Type F-300, lyophilized powder, ≥130 units/mg protein (biuret)
| Synonym: | ATP: |
| CAS Number: | 9001-51-8 |
| Enzyme Commission (EC) Number: | 2.7.1.1 ( BRENDA | IUBMB ) |
| EC Number: | 232-611-5 |
| MDL number: | MFCD00131321 |
Description
| Quality | A mixture of isoenzymes. |
| Reconstitution | Reconstitute with water or citrate buffer, pH 7.0. Studies have shown excellent stability during repeated freezing and thawing over a period of at least 30 days. |
| Unit Definition | One unit will phosphorylate 1.0 μmole of |
| Physical form | Lyophilized powder containing approx. 15% sodium citrate |
| Biochem/physiol Actions | Catalyzes the phosphorylation of The rate of phosphorylation varies with different hexoses (pH 7.5, 30 °C). Yeast hexokinase exists as two similar isoforms, PI and PII (A and B), with isoelectric points of 5.25 and 4, respectively. Molecular Weight: ~ 54 kDa (monomer) ~110 kDa (dimer) Optimal pH: 7.5 to 9.0 Extinction Coefficient: E1% = 8.85 (PI) and 9.47 (PII) at 280 nm Activators: Hexokinase requires Mg2+ ions (KM = 2.6 mM) for activity. Hexokinase is activated by catecholamines and related compounds. Inhibitors: sorbose-1-phosphate, polyphosphates, 6-deoxy-6-fluoroglucose, 2-C-hydroxy-methylglucose, xylose, lyxose, and thiol reactive compounds (Hg2+ and 4-chloromercuribenzoate) |
