    Journal: Comp Biochem Physiol B; 1977; 58(2):131-4. PubMed ID: 45524.
    Abstract:
    1. Dirofilaria immitis hexokinase was relatively heat stable and had a pH optimum range between 7.8 and 8.2. 2. Mean Vmax was 0.40 +/- 0.10 (S.D.) mumole/min/100 mg of worm. 3. Mean Km values were 0.32 mM for glucose, 0.86 mM for fructose and 0.39 mM for ATP. 4. Glucose-6-phosphate was not a strong product inhibitor. 5. Starch gel electrophoresis demonstrated at least three isozymes.
