Abstract
Immune cell recognition of bacterial products usually occurs via specific pattern recognition receptors, but new research recently published in Cell by Wolf et al. (2016) demonstrates that the glycolytic enzyme hexokinase can act as an innate immune sensor by binding to bacterial derived N-acetylglucosamine (NAG).
