Question

HEXOKINASE BELONGS TO WHICH CLSS OF ENZYME

Answer 1

Answer:

Hexokinase is a family of four enzymes including glucokinase, also called hexokinase IV in liver and pancreatic islet cells.

Answer 2

Answer:

Transferase....

Explanation:

• Transferase is an enzyme which transfers a group from one molecule to another molecule. Hexokinase is the enzyme which transfers one phosphate from ATP to glucose and forms glucose 6-phosphate.
• (Glucose ++ ATP ⟶⟶ Glucose 6-P ++ ADP)
• A hexokinase is an enzyme that phosphorylates a six-carbon sugar, a hexose, to a hexose phosphate. In most tissues and organisms, glucose is the most important substrate of hexokinases, and glucose 6-phosphate the most important product.
