Product Information

• Name: Glucokinase activator 1
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Glucokinase activator 1 (GKA1) is a protein that activates glucokinase, which is an enzyme that promotes the phosphorylation of glucose to glucose-6-phosphate. GKA1 has been shown to activate glucokinase in a mutant strain of E. coli, which has been shown to have increased lipoprotein lipase activity and enhanced uptake of glucose. This protein is also able to stimulate the production of insulin by increasing transcriptional regulation and messenger RNA levels. GKA1 may be used as a potential therapy for diabetes and as a diagnostic tool for measuring insulin resistance.
