Enzyme Catalyzing Glucose Phosphorylation in Glycolysis

Easy Biochemistry Metabolism

A common metabolic pathway in the cell is glycolysis, which involves the conversion of glucose into pyruvate. This process encompasses several enzymatic reactions that extract energy from glucose. During glycolysis, specific enzymes facilitate the conversion of key intermediates. One important step is the phosphorylation of glucose to glucose-6-phosphate, which is a crucial regulation point in this pathway.

Which of the following enzymes is responsible for this phosphorylation of glucose?
