HXK2 — Brassica oleracea

Summary

BoHXK2 (BOLC102_C07P002090.1_BOLC102_V1) on cabbage chromosome 7 encodes a hexokinase, an enzyme with hexokinase, glucokinase and fructokinase activities that binds ATP and D-glucose. The gene is associated with glycolytic process, glucose metabolism, glucose 6-phosphate metabolism, mannitol metabolism, cell glucose homeostasis, hexokinase-dependent signaling, sugar-mediated signaling, response to glucose, ethylene anabolism, glucosinolate breakdown, programmed cell death, sporulation and regeneration. The product localises to the cytosol, mitochondria, mitochondrial outer membrane and chloroplast outer membrane. BoHXK2 is also linked to protein content. Related genes in other species link the family to oxidative stress tolerance, drought tolerance, oxidative stress response, seed maturation, sugar content and phosphate content.
