This book was released on 2004 with total page 417 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The glucose-phosphorylating enzyme glucokinase (also known as hexokinase IV) plays a preeminent role as a glucose sensor and regulatory metabolic enzyme. The implications of this central position of glucokinase for the understanding and treatment of diabetes mellitus are far reaching. This book addresses the molecular and human genetic, as well as the physiological-chemical and pharmacological aspects of the role glucokinase plays in glucose homeostasis and diseases of glucose metabolism, and how the enzyme serves as the drug target for the treatment of diabetes mellitus. The collection of assays by a team of internationally renowned authors includes basic science chapters dealing with the enzymology, structure and the kinetics of hexokinases, essays describing the biochemical genetics of glucokinase-linked hypo- and hyperglycemia syndromes, and papers that discuss the diverse roles of the enzyme in a variety of tissues. Finally, the book contains the latest information on the recently discovered class of weight drugs that activate glucokinase (i.e. glucokinase activators or GKAs). This volume is of great interest to basic and clinical diabetes researchers, geneticists, biochemists, physiologists and pharmacologists.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about the hexokinase isoenzyme responsible for glucose phosphorylation in hepatocytes, commonly known as glucokinase. Its importance derives from the fact that glucose uptake by the liver is an essential physiological process, crucial for glucose homeostasis. This volume is the first to try to integrate all of the important information about hexokinase D into a single book, and thereby allows a reader concerned with any particular aspect of the enzyme to place it in a more general context.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is designed and formatted for an undergraduate student level and fits with the curriculum of biochemistry courses in all medical universities throughout the world. This book represents educational material which will provide students with a simple understanding of basic concepts of the macronutrient metabolism, biochemical events of macronutrients inside human cells, and cellular regulation of different metabolic pathways. This textbook provides insight into the nutritional biochemistry of macronutrients (carbohydrates, fat and protein) and their metabolic fate. The book covers basic concepts of digestion and absorption of three essential nutrients and their utilization by human cells in anabolic and catabolic pathways. The book is designed to link basic biochemistry to metabolism with a specific reference to the enzymatic, hormonal regulation and integrated metabolic pathways. Special attention was given to the central role of glucose in controlling energy production and its relevance to enzyme activation and inhibition. The major pathways that regulate carbohydrates, fat and protein metabolites in different organs are discussed in correlation to the metabolic fate of each nutrient and the cellular responses to different hormones. The book provides a thorough understanding and lays the foundation for the metabolic basis of macronutrients and the biochemistry underlying disease pathogenesis. Finally, the main theme of this book is to address the macronutrient metabolism in terms of anabolic, catabolic and amphibolic pathways.

This book was released on 2018-12-17 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is one of the important book for knowing about the Glucokinase... The book has covered the Mechanism and functions of the glucokinase in controlling of the Blood glucose. The book also covered the Causes for Glucokinse inactiveness and the effect of different drugs. The important thing is the diet and drugs influences on the glucokinase activity and controlling of the glucose levels in the body. Glucokinase(EC 2.7.1.2) is an enzyme that facilitates phosphorylation of glucose to glucose-6-phosphate. Glucokinase occurs in cells in the liver, pancreas, gut and brain of humans and most other vertebrates. In each of these organs it plays an important role in the regulation of carbohydrate metabolism by acting as a glucose sensor, triggering shifts in metabolism or cell function in response to rising or falling levels of glucose, such as occur after a meal or when fasting. Mutations of the genefor this enzyme can cause unusual forms of diabetes or hypoglycemia.
