Glucokinase is a monomeric protein of 465 amino acids and a molecular weight of about 50 kD. There are at least two clefts, one for the active site, binding glucose and MgATP, and the other for a putative allosteric activator that has not yet been identified.

This is about half the size of the other mammalian hexokinases, which retain a degree of dimeric structure.
Several sequences and the three-dimensional structure of the key active sites.
The ATP binding domain, for example, are shared with hexokinases, bacterial glucokinases, and other proteins, and the common structure is termed an actin fold.
