[Physico-chemical and kinetic properties of hexokinase isoenzymes from human normal and tumor tissues].
Individual hexokinase isoenzymes (isoHK) are isolated from normal and malignant human stomach mucosa. IsoHK from tumour tissue are found to have KM for glucose 10 times as low as isoHK from normal tissue. Molecular weights of individual isoHK from normal and tumour tissues are similar (at the range of 112,000-125,000). The treatment of protein preparation with 8M urea in the presence of 1% sodium docecyl sulphate resulted in the appearance of a single band with molecular weight of 58,000-60,000 for all the isoHK under polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Intensive bands with molecular weight of 60,000 and 96,000 and a number of minor bands were observed under polyacrylamide gel disc elect-ophoresis in the absence of urea. 2-Mercaptoethanol did not affect the results of disc electrophoresis. It is concluded that the molecule of human hexokinase consists of two subunits with molecular weight of 60,000.
