Human Hexokinase 2 (HK2) ELISA Kit

This quantitative immunoassay from Assay Genie enables researchers to measure human Hexokinase 2 (HK2) protein concentrations in research samples. HK2 catalyzes the first committed step of glycolysis, phosphorylating glucose to glucose-6-phosphate, and is widely investigated in tumor metabolism, the Warburg effect, diabetes research, and insulin signaling studies.

The kit provides reagents for 96 assays in a standard microplate layout with a colorimetric readout compatible with most benchtop plate readers. Prepared standards, detection antibody, and working solutions should be refrigerated; allow all components to equilibrate to room temperature before initiating the run. The assay is intended for research use only and supports in vitro investigation of HK2 expression across metabolic, oncological, and cell biology workflows.

Investigators characterizing glucose uptake, tumor bioenergetics, hepatic glucose handling, or cardiomyocyte metabolism can integrate this ELISA with complementary methods such as western blot, qPCR, or immunohistochemistry to obtain a layered view of HK2 regulation at the protein level. The microplate configuration supports moderate-throughput screening of cultured cell panels or treatment time courses.
