[Isoforms of human and animal tumor hexokinase].
In human brain tumors of neuro-ectodermal and meningo-vascular series, using the method of enzymoelectrophoresis and specific tetrazole blue staining, three isoforms of hexokinase were revealed, these differ from each other by their activity and electrophoretic mobility in agar gel. Three isoforms of hexokinase were also found in benign and malignant uterine tumors in females, in 22 A mice hepatoma and homologous intact tissues. Morever, in muscles and muscle tumors (MOP, CRM-1) of rats and of these animals embryos two isoforms of hexokinase were found. The increased rate of hexose phosphorylation in malignant uterine tumors of female patients and in blastomas of mice liver and rat muscles is associated with the increased activity of I and II isoforms of hexokinase. An analogous phenomenon is observed in muscles of rat embryos. On the other hand, the decreased activity of phosphotransferases in blastomas of human brain depends on a decrease in the activity of separate isoforms of hexokinase.
