Ontogenic Profile of Hexokinase and Glucokinase mRNA Expressions in Embryonic Chicken Liver and Muscle

The present study describes ontogenic profile of mRNA expressions of hexokinase (HK; EC 2.7.1.1) and glucokinase (GK; EC 2.7.1.2, otherwise known as HKIV) that catalyze the first step of glucose metabolism by cells. The liver and the skeletal muscle were collected from 11 to 21 day embryos (n=6) of...
