Hexokinase II–derived cell-penetrating peptide targets mitochondria and triggers apoptosis in cancer cells

Overexpression of mitochondria-bound hexokinase II (HKII) in cancer cells plays an important role in their metabolic reprogramming and protects them against apoptosis, thereby facilitating their growth and proliferation. Here, we show that covalently coupling a peptide corresponding to the mitochond...
