Current status and progress of research on the ADP-dependent glucokinase gene

Abstract excerpt

ADP-dependent glucokinase (ADPGK) produces glucose-6-phosphate with adenosine diphosphate (ADP) as the phosphate group donor, in contrast to ATP-dependent hexokinases (HKs). Originally found in archaea, ADPGK is involved in glycolysis. However, its biological function in most eukaryotic organisms is still unclear, and the molecular mechanism of action requires further investigation. This paper provides a concise...
