background:
GCKR is a subfamily member of the SIS (Sugar ISomerase) family of proteins. It is a regulatory protein that inhibits glucokinase in liver and pancreatic islet cells by binding non-covalently to form an inactive complex with the enzyme. This gene is considered a susceptibility gene candidate for a form of maturity-onset diabetes of the young.
Function:
Inhibits glucokinase by forming an inactive complex with this enzyme.
Tissue Specificity:
Found in liver and pancreas. Not detected in muscle, brain, heart, thymus, intestine, uterus, adipose tissue, kidney, adrenal, lung or spleen.
Similarity:
Belongs to the GCKR family.
Contains 2 SIS domains.
