Biochem/physiol Actions

HK1 (Hexokinase 1) encodes a hexokinase protein consisting of a porin-binding domain at the N-terminal end. It is majorly involved in the glucose metabolic pathway. It is expressed in the photoreceptor inner section, outer plexiform layer, inner nuclear layer, inner plexiform layer, and ganglion cell layer of the human retina. It provides the energy for maintaining the metabolic activity of retina. In the mitochondria, HK1 functions as a pro-survival factor to inhibit TNF-induced apoptotic signals. A missense mutation in hexokinase 1 (HK1) causes an autosomal dominant disorder, retinitis pigmentosa. It has been reported that porin-binding domain of HK1 actively participates in the mitochondrial integrity.

Features and Benefits

Prestige Antibodies^® are highly characterized and extensively validated antibodies with the added benefit of all available characterization data for each target being accessible via the Human Protein Atlas portal linked just below the product name at the top of this page. The uniqueness and low cross-reactivity of the Prestige Antibodies^® to other proteins are due to a thorough selection of antigen regions, affinity purification, and stringent selection. Prestige antigen controls are available for every corresponding Prestige Antibody and can be found in the linkage section.

Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways:

• IHC tissue array of 44 normal human tissues and 20 of the most common cancer type tissues.
• Protein array of 364 human recombinant protein fragments.
