Gene nameGCKR
Protein nameGlucokinase regulatory protein (GKRP) (Glucokinase regulator)
Glucokinase regulator
Glucokinase (Hexokinase 4) regulator (Glucokinase regulator)
SynonymshCG_21226
DescriptionFUNCTION: Regulates glucokinase (GCK) by forming an inactive complex with this enzyme . Acts by promoting GCK recruitment to the nucleus, possibly to provide a reserve of GCK that can be quickly released in the cytoplasm after a meal . The affinity of GCKR for GCK is modulated by fructose metabolites: GCKR with bound fructose 6-phosphate has increased affinity for GCK, while GCKR with bound fructose 1-phosphate has strongly decreased affinity for GCK and does not inhibit GCK activity . .
