KHK Antibody

1. Data indicate metabolic enzymes NAD kinase and ketohexokinase as candidate metabolic gene targets, and the chromatin remodeling protein INO80C as a tumor suppressor in KRAS(MUT) colorectal tumor xenograft. PMID: 28954733
2. Angelica archangelica, Garcinia mangostana, Petroselinum crispum, and Scutellaria baicalensis were the top four botanical candidiates identified with inhibitory activity against ketohexokinase-C. PMID: 27322374
3. compared with normal hepatocytes, hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cells markedly reduce the rate of fructose metabolism and the level of reactive oxygen species, as a result of a c-Myc-dependent and heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein (hnRNP) H1- and H2-mediated switch from expression of the high-activity fructokinase (KHK)-C to the low-activity KHK-A isoform. PMID: 27088854
4. myocardial hypoxia actuates fructose metabolism in human and mouse models of pathological cardiac hypertrophy through hypoxia-inducible factor 1alpha (HIF1alpha) activation of SF3B1 and SF3B1-mediated splice switching of KHK-A to KHK-C PMID: 26083752
5. These studies identify fructokinase as a novel mediator of diabetic nephropathy and document a novel role for endogenous fructose production, or fructoneogenesis, in driving renal disease. PMID: 24876114
6. This study determined if single nucleotide polymorphisms in genes involved in fructose transport,SLC2A2 and SLC2A5 and metabolism, etohexokinase affect inter-individual variability in metabolic phenotypes. PMID: 23341889
7. In human hepatocytes uric acid up-regulates KHK expression thus leading to the amplification of the lipogenic effects of fructose. PMID: 23112875
8. ketohexokinase-A serves an unknown physiologic function that remains intact in essential fructosuria. PMID: 12941785
9. The expression of ketohexokinase is diminished in human clear cell type of renal cell carcinoma PMID: 16372272
10. Ketohexokinase-dependent metabolism of fructose induces proinflammatory mediators in proximal tubular cells. PMID: 19158351
11. The structure of the KHK-A ternary complex revealed an active site with fructose & the ATP analogue in positions ready for phosphorylation. The effects of the pathogenic mutations Gly40Arg & Ala43Thr have been modelled in the context of the KHK structure. PMID: 19237742
