Human HK2 (Hexokinase 2) ELISA Kit (HUFI03958)

This quantitative immunoassay from Assay Genie measures human Hexokinase 2 (HK2), the mitochondrial-associated glycolytic enzyme that catalyzes the first committed step of glucose phosphorylation. The kit supports research into cancer metabolism, the Warburg effect, and metabolic reprogramming in tumor cells, where HK2 overexpression is a documented feature. Reagents are supplied for 96 determinations with colorimetric readout on a standard microplate reader. Compatible matrices include standard blood-derived specimens, and unopened components should be stored refrigerated at 4 degrees C. Each kit contains pre-coated wells, detection antibody, recombinant standards, and assay buffers sufficient to generate a standard curve across physiological and pathological HK2 concentrations. HK2 is a frequent biomarker in studies of hepatocellular carcinoma, breast cancer, glioblastoma, and insulin-responsive tissues such as skeletal muscle and adipose.
