Summary

KHK (ketohexokinase, HGNC:6315) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 2p23.3, encoding Ketohexokinase (P50053). Catalyzes the phosphorylation of the ketose sugar fructose to fructose-1-phosphate.

This gene encodes ketohexokinase that catalyzes conversion of fructose to fructose-1-phosphate. The product of this gene is the first enzyme with a specialized pathway that catabolizes dietary fructose. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified.
