what is glucokinase
Glucokinase is a gene which plays an important role in recognising how high the blood glucose is in the body. It acts as the âglucose sensorâ for the pancreas, so that when the blood glucose rises, the amount of insulin produced also increases.n people without a change in glucokinase, the blood glucose is usually around 5.5 mmol/L but in people with a change in the glucokinase gene, the fasting blood glucose is typically between 5.5 and 8mmol/L.
