Disease relevance of HK3

 

High impact information on HK3

  • HIF-1alpha, VEGF(165), HK II, HK III, and macrophages showed no univariate correlation with (18)FDG [3].
  • HK III activity was cyclic adenosine 3':5'-monophosphate independent and was not influenced by calcium, calmodulin, polyamines, and heparin [1].
  • Isolated HK III exhibited a histone (H2B) protamine-phosphotranferase selectivity and used adenosine triphosphate but not guanosine triphosphate as phosphate donor [1].
  • The significance of HK III activity in adrenocortical carcinoma extracts at a high level as compared to that of normal tissue remains to be clarified with regard both to its possible relationship with tumoral cell growth and differentiation processes and to its potential interest as a marker of human tumoral tissue activity [1].
  • A comparison of two methods for detecting HK activity was made, yielding different results regarding HK II and HK III [4].
 

Biological context of HK3

 

Anatomical context of HK3

 

Associations of HK3 with chemical compounds

  • Hydroxyketone chelators, deferiprone (HK1), maltol (HK3) and their related compounds (HK2, 4-8), were characterized for their cytotoxic profiles against oral human normal and tumor cells [6].
  • Unlike HK3, HK1 and HK2 are not inhibited by high glucose concentrations [10].
 

Other interactions of HK3

  • In the malignant neoplasms studied, a significant elevation of HK-II and the appearance of additional anodal bands (HK-IIf and HK-III) have been demonstrated [11].
