ATP: D-glucose-6-phosphotransferase, also known as hexokinase, is a crucial enzyme involved in the first step of cellular glucose metabolism. This enzyme catalyzes the transfer of a phosphate group from ATP to the sixth carbon of D-glucose, resulting in the formation of glucose-6-phosphate (G6P). This reaction is essential for the regulation of glucose metabolism, as it commits glucose to further metabolic pathways, such as glycolysis, the pentose phosphate pathway, or glycogen synthesis. Hexokinase plays a vital role in maintaining energy homeostasis within cells and is found in various organisms, including humans, plants, and microorganisms. The enzyme's activity is regulated by various factors, such as substrate availability and allosteric modulation, ensuring that glucose metabolism is tightly controlled in response to cellular energy demands.

The CAS Registry Mumber 9001-36-9 includes 7 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 4 digits, 9,0,0 and 1 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 3 and 6 respectively. Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 9001-36: (6*9)+(5*0)+(4*0)+(3*1)+(2*3)+(1*6)=69 69 % 10 = 9 So 9001-36-9 is a valid CAS Registry Number.
