GLUT-2 (facilitated diffusion)

After cell entry, hexokinase OR glucokinase (+ATP) phosphorylate glucose to Glucose-6-phosphate
Hexokinase vs Glucokinase
Role
General differences
Both do this:
Glucose + ATP-->glucose-6-phosphate

Hexokinase: ubiquitous; high affinity (low Km), high capacity (high Vmax), induced by insulin

Glucokinase: Liver and beta-cells of pancreas. Low affinity (high Km), high capacity (high Vmax), induced by insulin.

GLUcokinase is a GLUtton. Has a high Vmax bc it cannot be satisfied.

(also, want low affinity in liver so glucose spreads to other organs/tissues)
