Hk3

Enables enzyme binding activity; hexokinase activity; and hormone binding activity. Involved in fructose 6-phosphate metabolic process; glucose 6-phosphate metabolic process; and negative regulation of hydrogen peroxide-mediated programmed cell death. Part of protein-containing complex. Orthologous to human HK3 (hexokinase 3). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

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 rat Hk3 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
