Hexokinase: a rate limiting enzyme of glycolysis in various diseases!!!

In humans and mammals, glucose is essential both as an energy source to help sustain cell life and as a carbon source for most cell building blocks. Glucose is unique in that it can be used as an energy source by all cells in both the presence and absence of molecular oxygen (O2) i.e., aerobic and anaerobic. Glycolysis is one of the important metabolic pathways that convert glucose into pyruvate. A hexokinase is an enzyme that phosphorylates a six carbon sugar, a hexose, to a hexose phosphate. ...
