glu·co·ki·nase
(glū'kō-kī'nās), [MIM*138079]Phosphotransferase that catalyzes the conversion of d-glucose and ATP to d-glucose 6-phosphate and ADP; the liver enzyme has a higher Km value for d-glucose than hexokinase and is not strongly inhibited by the product d-glucose 6-phosphate.

GCK
A gene on chromosome 7p15.3-p15.1 that encodes a glucokinase (hexokinase) that phosphorylates glucose yielding glucose-6-phosphate, the first usual step in glucose metabolism.Molecular biology
GCK mutations are linked to type-2 diabetes, maturity-onset diabetes of the young, type 2 (MODY2) and persistent hyperinsulinemic hypoglycaemia of infancy (PHHI).
