Short example sentences

Hexokinase is inhibited by high levels of G6P in the cell. (11 words)

For example, in the first regulated step, hexokinase converts glucose into glucose-6-phosphate. (14 words)

Hexokinase is the most common enzyme that makes use of glucose when it first enters the cell. (17 words)

Longer example sentences

The hexokinase enzyme has a low Km, indicating a high affinity for glucose, so this initial phosphorylation can proceed even when glucose levels at nanoscopic scale within the blood. (29 words)

This tracer is a glucose analog that is taken up by glucose-using cells and phosphorylated by hexokinase (whose mitochondrial form is greatly elevated in rapidly growing malignant tumours). (29 words)

In addition hexokinase and glucokinase act independently of the hormonal effects as controls at the entry points of glucose into the cells of different tissues. (25 words)

Example sentences (10)

For example, in the first regulated step, hexokinase converts glucose into glucose-6-phosphate.

Hexokinase is an enzyme responsible for the first the step of glycolysis, forming glucose-6-phosphate from glucose.

Hexokinase is inhibited by high levels of G6P in the cell.

Hexokinase is the most common enzyme that makes use of glucose when it first enters the cell.

In addition hexokinase and glucokinase act independently of the hormonal effects as controls at the entry points of glucose into the cells of different tissues.

In glycolysis, hexokinase is directly inhibited by its product, glucose-6-phosphate, and pyruvate kinase is inhibited by ATP itself.

The hexokinase enzyme has a low Km, indicating a high affinity for glucose, so this initial phosphorylation can proceed even when glucose levels at nanoscopic scale within the blood.

The two enzymes have been identified as a specific glucokinase (ATP-D-glucose 6-phosphotransferase) and non-specific hexokinase (ATP-D-hexose 6-phosphotransferase).

This reaction occurs due to the enzyme hexokinase, an enzyme that helps phosphorylate many six-membered ring structures.

This tracer is a glucose analog that is taken up by glucose-using cells and phosphorylated by hexokinase (whose mitochondrial form is greatly elevated in rapidly growing malignant tumours).
