Mouse Anti-Porcine Hexokinase 1 Monoclonal Antibody

Porcine hexokinase 1 (HK1) is a key enzyme that catalyzes the first step of glucose metabolism, converting glucose to glucose-6-phosphate. This process is essential for cellular energy production and is tightly linked to the regulation of glucose metabolism and inflammation. In pigs, HK1 plays a significant role in the metabolic fate of glucose, with its cellular localization being crucial for determining the metabolic pathways glucose can be channeled into, such as glycolysis or the pentose phosphate pathway (PPP). In pigs, understanding the role of HK1 in glucose metabolism and its impact on inflammation and neurological health can provide valuable insights for veterinary medicine and potentially inform human therapeutic strategies. The multifaceted role of HK1 in cellular metabolism and its implications in disease make it an important target for further research in both health and disease.
