  • Title: Hexokinase of Angiostrongylus cantonensis: presence of a glucokinase.
    Author: Oguchi M, Kanda T, Akamatsu N.
    Journal: Comp Biochem Physiol B; 1979; 63(3):335-40. PubMed ID: 318415.
    Abstract:
    1. Angiostrongylus cantonensis contains a glucokinase which was isolated by DEAE-cellulose column chromatography. 2. This enzyme has a much higher affinity toward glucose (apparent Km, 0.2 mM) than fructose (apparent Km, 85 mM). Glucose-6-phosphate (10 mM) does not inhibit glucose phosphorylation. 3. Molecular weight obtained by a molecular sieve chromatography (60,000) is also close to the value of mammalian glucokinase. 4. While Vmax value for mannose is one-third smaller than that for glucose, Km for mannose is rather lower than that for glucose. 5. In addition to the cytosol enzyme, a particle bound hexokinase is found in the worm.
