Gck

Enables glucokinase activity. Involved in calcium ion import; intracellular glucose homeostasis; and positive regulation of insulin secretion. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including NADP metabolic process; carbohydrate phosphorylation; and regulation of insulin secretion. Located in cytosol; mitochondrion; and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; genitourinary system; musculoskeletal system; and sensory organ. Used to study familial hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia 3; hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia; maturity-onset diabetes of the young type 2; and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in artery disease (multiple) and glucose metabolism disease (multiple). Orthologous to human GCK (glucokinase).

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 Gck often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.

Biological processes and signaling networks where the Gck gene in mouse plays a role, providing insight into its function and relevance in health or disease.
