Glucokinase is a gene which plays an important role in recognising how high the blood glucose is in the body. It acts as the âglucose sensorâ for the pancreas, so that when the blood glucose rises, the amount of insulin produced also increases.n people without a change in glucokinase, the blood glucose is usually around 5.5 mmol/L but in people with a change in the glucokinase gene, the fasting blood glucose is typically between 5.5 and 8mmol/L.
gluconeogenesis. the synthesis of glucose from noncarbohydrate sources, such as amino acids, propionate and glycerol. It occurs primarily in the liver and kidneys whenever the supply of carbohydrates is insufficient to meet the body's metabolic demands or in the rumen by the action of bacteria in well-fed ruminants. Gluconeogenesis is stimulated by cortisol and other glucocorticoids and by glucagon.
