Hexokinase isoenzyme 1; a cytosolic protein that catalyzes phosphorylation of glucose during glucose metabolism; expression is highest during growth on non-glucose carbon sources; glucose-induced repression involves hexokinase Hxk2p; HXK1 has a paralog, HXK2, that arose from the whole genome duplication [Source:SGD;Acc:S000001949]
Chromosome VI: 253,592-255,049 reverse strand.
R64-1-1:BK006940.2
This gene has 1 transcript (splice variant), 395 orthologues, 4 paralogues and is a member of 1 Ensembl protein family.
