Summary
The distribution of electrophoretic fractions of hexokinase (HK E.C. 2.7.1.1) in extracts of 53 human primary tumors, homologous normal tissues and fetal organs was investigated. It was found that the fraction HK II is present in every malignant tumor and in placenta tissue.
Zusammenfassung
Die Verteilung elektrophoretischer Fraktionen der Hexokinase (HK, E.C.: 2.7.1.1.) in Extrakten 53 menschlicher Primärtumoren, homologen normalen Gewebes und fetaler Organe wurde untersucht. Die Fraktion HK II existiert in allen malignen Tumoren und im Placentagewebe.
