Anti-KHK

This gene encodes ketohexokinase that catalyzes conversion of fructose to fructose-1-phosphate. The product of this gene is the first enzyme with a specialized pathway that catabolizes dietary fructose. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified. Protein function: Catalyzes the phosphorylation of the ketose sugar fructose to fructose-1-phosphate. [The UniProt Consortium]
