Summary: Enables ketohexokinase activity. Involved in fructose catabolic process to hydroxyacetone phosphate and glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate. Acts upstream of or within fructose metabolic process and regulation of glycogen metabolic process. Located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Is active in cytosol. Is expressed in alimentary system; central nervous system; liver; and retina. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in essential fructosuria. Orthologous to human KHK (ketohexokinase).

Fructokinase knockout mice were protected from renal injury both at baseline and after high salt intake (3 wk) compared with wild-type mice. This was associated with higher levels of active (phosphorylated serine 1177) endothelial nitric oxide synthase in their kidneys.
Title: Aging-associated renal disease in mice is fructokinase dependent.
Feedforward upregulation of fructolytic and gluconeogenic enzymes specifically requires GLUT5 and KHK and may proactively enhance the intestine's ability to process anticipated increases in dietary fructose concentrations.
Title: Fructose-induced increases in expression of intestinal fructolytic and gluconeogenic genes are regulated by GLUT5 and KHK.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
