def: Activity or concentration of hexokinase (EC 2.7.1.1) in red blood cells below the lower limit of normal. Arginase catalyzes the last step of the urea cycle.
comment: Hexokinase catalyzes the first step in glucose metabolism, using ATP for the phosphorylation of glucose to glucose-6-phosphate. Four different forms of hexokinase, designated type HK1, HK2, HK3, and HK4, are present in mammalian tissues.
New term request Hexokinase activity low in RBC (elthat_130422040327): Erythrocytes, red blood cells
