Hkdc1 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Predicted to enable fructokinase activity and glucokinase activity. Involved in intracellular glucose homeostasis. Located in photoreceptor inner segment. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; limb; sensory organ; and urinary system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in retinitis pigmentosa. Orthologous to human HKDC1 (hexokinase domain containing 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2025]

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Hkdc1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
