Enables glucokinase activity and peptidoglycan binding activity. Involved in carbohydrate phosphorylation; hexose metabolic process; and positive regulation of cytokine production. Located in cytosol; membrane raft; and mitochondrion. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system;
integumental system; nervous system; respiratory system; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 4G; anemia (multiple); hematologic cancer (multiple); obesity; and retinitis pigmentosa. Orthologous to human HK1 (hexokinase 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2025]
Predicted to enable protein-cysteine S-palmitoyltransferase activity and zinc ion binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including peptidyl-L-cysteine S-palmitoylation; positive regulation by host of viral process; and synaptic vesicle maturation. Predicted to be located in
Golgi membrane and plasma membrane. Predicted to be active in Golgi apparatus and endoplasmic reticulum. Is expressed in early conceptus; inner cell mass; and oocyte. Orthologous to human ZDHHC20 (zinc finger DHHC-type palmitoyltransferase 20). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2025]
