Rabbit Anti-GK3/FITC Conjugated antibody
background:
The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the FGGY kinase family. This protein is a key enzyme in the regulation of glycerol uptake and metabolism. It catalyzes the phosphorylation of glycerol by ATP, yielding ADP and glycerol-3-phosphate. Mutations in this gene are associated with glycerol kinase deficiency (GKD). Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.
Function:
Key enzyme in the regulation of glycerol uptake and metabolism.
Subcellular Location:
Mitochondrion outer membrane; Peripheral membrane protein; Cytoplasmic side. Cytoplasm. Note=In sperm the majority of the enzyme is bound to mitochondria.
Similarity:
Belongs to the FGGY kinase family.
Database links:
SwissProt: Q1889 Human
