Hexokinase II (HKII) plays a central role in the intracellular metabolism of glucose in skeletal muscle, catalysing the phosphorylation of glucose to glucose 6-phosphate. It is therefore considered to be a potentially important candidate gene in the development of insulin resistance and non-insulin-
Acatalasemia was one of the earliest described genetic enzyme defects. In 1990, a causal point mutation (a splicing mutation) was first reported in a Japanese patient with acatalasemia. In the present study, the polymerase chain reaction and single-strand conformation polymorphism analysis were used
We have sequenced the mitochondrial-encoded NADH dehydrogenase subunit 6 gene from 19 species of birds. Comparison of the derived amino-acid sequences in 22 avian species, six mammals, and two fishes, reveals an intragenic rearrangement in mammals. The C-terminal half of the mammalian protein includ
