The function of ENSG00000156510 (HKDC1, hexokinase domain containing 1) is as follows. Catalyzes the phosphorylation of hexose to hexose 6- phosphate, although at very low level compared to other hexokinases (PubMed:30517626). Has low glucose phosphorylating activity compared to other hexokinases (PubMed:30517626). Involved in glucose homeostasis and hepatic lipid accumulation. Required to maintain whole-body glucose homeostasis during pregnancy; however additional evidences are required to confirm this role (By similarity). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q91W97, ECO:0000269|PubMed:30517626}.
