Detection of Human Ketohexokinase by Western Blot. Western blot shows lysates of HepG2 human hepatocellular carcinoma cell line and human liver tissue. PVDF membrane was probed with 2 µg/mL of Mouse Anti-Human Ketohexokinase Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB8177) followed by HRP-conjugated Anti-Mouse IgG Secondary Antibody (Catalog # HAF018). A specific band was detected for Ketohexokinase at approximately 30 kDa (as indicated). This experiment was conducted under reducing conditions and using Immunoblot Buffer Group 1.

Ketohexokinase in Human Liver. Ketohexokinase was detected in immersion fixed paraffin-embedded sections of human liver using Mouse Anti-Human Ketohexokinase Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB8177) at 5 µg/mL for 1 hour at room temperature followed by incubation with the Anti-Mouse IgG VisUCyte™ HRP Polymer Antibody (Catalog # VC001). Before incubation with the primary antibody, tissue was subjected to heat-induced epitope retrieval using Antigen Retrieval Reagent-Basic (Catalog # CTS013). Tissue was stained using DAB (brown) and counterstained with hematoxylin (blue). Specific staining was localized to cytoplasm in hepatocytes.

Background: Ketohexokinase
KHK1(Ketohexokinase) catalyzes conversion of fructose to fructose-1-phosphate (1). It is the first enzyme that catabolizes dietary fructose. Mutation of this protein is the molecular basis for essential fructosuria, a clinically benign condition characterized by the incomplete metabolism of fructose in the liver, leading to its excretion in urine (2, 3). Essential fructosuria does not have any clinical manifestations and no treatment is required. However, deficiency of aldolase B, the second enzyme involved in the metabolism of fructose results in the accumulation of fructose-1-phosphate in the blood, which causes fructosemia or hereditary fructose intolerance (4). High level of fructose-1-phosphate inhibits the production of glucose and results in diminished regeneration of adenosine triphosphate. Patients with fuctosemia have symptoms of elevated uric acid, growth abnormalities, and coma if untreated. Therefore, inhibition of KHK1 may lead to a cure for fructosemia. High level of expression of KHK1 is found in liver, kidney, gut, spleen and pancreas. Low levels of expression of KHK1 is found in heart, muscle, brain, and eye (3). The enzymatic activity of recombinant human KHK1 is measured using a phosphatase-coupled method (5).
