Difference between Glucokinase and Isozyme

Glucokinase vs. Isozyme

Glucokinase is an enzyme that facilitates phosphorylation of glucose to glucose-6-phosphate. Isozymes (also known as isoenzymes or more generally as multiple forms of enzymes) are enzymes that differ in amino acid sequence but catalyze the same chemical reaction.

Similarities between Glucokinase and Isozyme

Glucokinase and Isozyme have 23 things in common (in Unionpedia): Active site, Amino acid, Beta cell, Biochemistry, Cofactor (biochemistry), Enzyme, Enzyme kinetics, Gene, Glucose 6-phosphate, Glycogen, Hexokinase, Homology (biology), Insulin, Liver, Metabolism, Michaelis–Menten kinetics, Mutation, Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate, Pancreas, Protein isoform, Redox, Substrate (chemistry).

Active site

In biology, the active site is the region of an enzyme where substrate molecules bind and undergo a chemical reaction.
