OverviewNCBI Gene
Hexokinases phosphorylate glucose to produce glucose-6-phosphate, the first step in most glucose metabolism pathways. This gene encodes hexokinase 3. Similar to hexokinases 1 and 2, this allosteric enzyme is inhibited by its product glucose-6-phosphate. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2009]

Antibody and autoantibody relevanceSeroatlas analysis
Seroatlas reads HK3 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against HK3 could matter depends on whether native HK3 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.
HK3 is annotated as secreted, so native HK3 circulates and is directly accessible to antibodies. Secreted and cell-surface proteins are the autoantibody targets most likely to act like drugs, blocking or depleting the native protein.
Annotation status
The present source text does not explicitly label HK3 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
