Hexokinase (HK)-1 mitochondrial-binding mechanisms and consequential physiological relevance remain unclear. Recently, De Jesus et al. studied myeloid cells with HK1 carrying mutated mitochondrial-binding domains (MBDs) and provided evidence that HK1 localization controls glucose metabolic fate. Increases in cytosolic HK1 may also contribute to the inflammation associated with diabetes and aging.
