Question

Hexokinase II (the isoform usually discussed in biochemistry classes as part of glycolysis) catalyzes the frst step in glycolysis. Te isoform of hexokinase that is expressed in most tumor cells is bound to the mitochondrial outer membrane facing the cytosol. Propose two reasons why this would be benefcial to the tumor cell.

Answer 1

Following are the solution to the given question:

Step-by-step explanation:

In the given question the crucial function of hexokinase II in cancer cells would continue to survive through all the cell death suppression. It is the prevalent part of both the HK II on mitochondrial with just an enzyme-linked towards the VDA proteins through an N- terminal binding domain, in a predominantly glycolytic tumor, is located.
