Biochemical Basis of Glucokinase Activation and the Regulation by Glucokinase Regulatory Protein in Naturally Occurring Mutations
3 Nov 2006
Abstract excerpt
Glucokinase (GK) has several known polymorphic activating mutations that increase the enzyme activity by enhancing glucose binding affinity and/or by alleviating the inhibition of glucokinase regulatory protein (GKRP), a key regulator of GK activity in the liver. Kinetic studies were undertaken to better understand the effect of these mutations on the enzyme mechanism of GK activation and GKRP regulation and to...
