Abstract excerpt
Glucokinase (GCK) is the pancreatic β-cell glucose sensor, and its kinetics are key to that purpose. A slow transition step, displayed as non-hyperbolic kinetics, and a low affinity for glucose characterize GCK. Mutations in GCK associated with maturity-onset diabetes of the young type 2 (MODY2) previously described reduce the functionality of the human pancreatic β-cell, leading to diabetic clinical phenotypes....
