HK3

Hexokinase 3 also known as HK3 is an is_associated_with::enzyme which in humans is encoded by the HK2 is_associated_with::gene.

Function
is_associated_with::Hexokinases phosphorylate is_associated_with::glucose to produce is_associated_with::glucose 6-phosphate, thus committing glucose to the glycolytic pathway. This gene encodes hexokinase 3. Similar to hexokinases 1 and 2, this allosteric enzyme is inhibited by its product glucose 6-phosphate.
