Glucose metabolism is indispensable for cell growth and survival. Hexokinases play pivotal roles in glucose metabolism through canonical functions of hexokinases as well as in immune response, cell stemness, autophagy, and other cellular activities through noncanonical functions. The aberrant regulation of hexokinases contributes to the development and progression of pathologies, including cancer and immune diseases.
葡萄糖代谢对于细胞生长和存活至关重要。己糖激酶通过其经典功能在葡萄糖代谢中发挥关键作用，同时也通过非经典功能参与免疫反应、细胞干性、自噬及其他细胞活动。己糖激酶的异常调节会导致包括癌症和免疫疾病在内的多种病理状况的发生和发展。
