Wor, Worenine: Click to Expand ⟱
Features:
Worenine - Coptis Chinensis (Huanglian in Chinese), a famous traditional herbal medicine used for clearing heat and detoxification.
Worenine is classified as a plant-derived alkaloid.

-Worenine may exert anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects.
-Production of lactic acid and the uptake and consumption of glucose is significantly inhibited.
-The protein and mRNA levels of GLUT3, HK2, PFK-L, PKM2, and LDHA in HCT116 cells are reduced.

Type: enzyme
HK2 (Hexokinase 2) is an enzyme that plays a crucial role in glycolysis, the process by which cells convert glucose into energy. HK2 is a key regulatory enzyme in the glycolytic pathway, and it is primarily expressed in various tissues, including muscle, brain, and cancer cells.
HK2 has been shown to be overexpressed in many types of tumors, including breast, lung, and colon cancer. This overexpression may contribute to the development and progression of cancer by promoting glycolysis and energy production in cancer cells.
HK2 is a key regulatory enzyme in the glycolytic pathway.
HK2 plays a role in the regulation of glucose metabolism in diabetes.
HK2 is involved in the regulation of cell proliferation, apoptosis, and autophagy.
