Summary

GCK (glucokinase, HGNC:4195) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 7p13, encoding Hexokinase-4 (P35557). Catalyzes the phosphorylation of hexose, such as D-glucose, D-fructose and D-mannose, to hexose 6-phosphate (D-glucose 6-phosphate, D-fructose 6-phosphate and D-mannose 6-phosphate, respectively). It is haploinsufficient (ClinGen: sufficient evidence).

This gene encodes a member of the hexokinase family of proteins. Hexokinases phosphorylate glucose to produce glucose-6-phosphate, the first step in most glucose metabolism pathways. In contrast to other forms of hexokinase, this enzyme is not inhibited by its product glucose-6-phosphate but remains active while glucose is abundant. The use of multiple promoters and alternative splicing of this gene result in distinct protein isoforms that exhibit tissue-specific expression in the pancreas and liver. In the pancreas, this enzyme plays a role in glucose-stimulated insulin secretion, while in the liver, this enzyme is important in glucose uptake and conversion to glycogen. Mutations in this gene that alter enzyme activity have been associated with multiple types of diabetes and hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia.

Function. Catalyzes the phosphorylation of hexose, such as D-glucose, D-fructose and D-mannose, to hexose 6-phosphate (D-glucose 6-phosphate, D-fructose 6-phosphate and D-mannose 6-phosphate, respectively). Compared to other hexokinases, has a weak affinity for D-glucose, and is effective only when glucose is abundant. Mainly expressed in pancreatic beta cells and the liver and constitutes a rate-limiting step in glucose metabolism in these tissues. Since insulin secretion parallels glucose metabolism and the low glucose affinity of GCK ensures that it can change its enzymatic activity within the physiological range of glucose concentrations, GCK acts as a glucose sensor in the pancreatic beta cell. In pancreas, plays an important role in modulating insulin secretion. In liver, helps to facilitate the uptake and conversion of glucose by acting as an insulin-sensitive determinant of hepatic glucose usage. Required to provide D-glucose 6-phosphate for the synthesis of glycogen. Mediates the initial step of glycolysis by catalyzing phosphorylation of D-glucose to D-glucose 6-phosphate.

Subunit / interactions. Monomer. Interacts with MIDN; the interaction occurs preferentially at low glucose levels and results in inhibition of hexokinase activity. Interacts with GCKR; leading to sequestration in the nucleus.

Subcellular location. Cytoplasm. Nucleus. Mitochondrion.

Disease relevance. Maturity-onset diabetes of the young 2 (MODY2) [MIM:125851] A form of diabetes that is characterized by an autosomal dominant mode of inheritance, onset in childhood or early adulthood (usually before 25 years of age), a primary defect in insulin secretion and frequent insulin-independence at the beginning of the disease. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. Hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia, familial, 3 (HHF3) [MIM:602485] A form of hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia, a clinically and genetically heterogeneous disorder characterized by inappropriate insulin secretion from the pancreatic beta-cells in the presence of low blood glucose levels. HHF3 clinical features include loss of consciousness due to hypoglycemia, hypoglycemic coma, mental retardation due to repeated episodes of hypoglycemia, and seizures. HHF3 inheritance is autosomal dominant. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D) [MIM:125853] A multifactorial disorder of glucose homeostasis caused by a lack of sensitivity to insulin. Affected individuals usually have an obese body habitus and manifestations of a metabolic syndrome characterized by diabetes, insulin resistance, hypertension and hypertriglyceridemia. The disease results in long-term complications that affect the eyes, kidneys, nerves, and blood vessels. Disease susceptibility is associated with variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. Diabetes mellitus, permanent neonatal, 1 (PNDM1) [MIM:606176] An autosomal recessive form of permanent neonatal diabetes mellitus, a type of diabetes characterized by onset of persistent hyperglycemia within the first six months of life. Initial clinical manifestations include intrauterine growth retardation, hyperglycemia, glycosuria, osmotic polyuria, severe dehydration, and failure to thrive. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.

Activity regulation. Subject to allosteric regulation. Low glucose and high fructose-6-phosphate triggers association with the inhibitor GCKR followed by sequestration in the nucleus.

Pathway. Carbohydrate metabolism; hexose metabolism. Carbohydrate degradation; glycolysis; D-glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate and glycerone phosphate from D-glucose: step 1/4.

Similarity. Belongs to the hexokinase family.
