Glucokinase regulatory protein

The GCKR gene encodes a protein that binds non-covalently to glucokinase an enzyme that is involved in glucose metabolism in the liver and insulin secretion in pancreas islets. Genetic variation are associated with elevated fasting glucose levels and familial combined hyperlipidemia.
