Summary: Predicted to enable fructokinase activity and glucokinase activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including glucose 6-phosphate metabolic process; glycolytic process; and intracellular glucose homeostasis. Predicted to be active in cytosol and mitochondrion. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 4G; anemia (multiple); hematologic cancer (multiple); obesity; and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Orthologous to several human genes including HK1 (hexokinase 1); HK2 (hexokinase 2); and HK3 (hexokinase 3). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]
