Phosphofructokinase-1 (PFK-1) is one of the most important regulatory enzymes (EC 2.7.1.11) of glycolysis. It is an allosteric enzyme made of 4 subunits and controlled by many activators and inhibitors. PFK-1 catalyzes the important "committed" step of glycolysis, the conversion of fructose 6-phosphate and ATP to fructose 1,6-bisphosphate and ADP.
The enzyme-catalysed transfer of a phosphoryl group from ATP is an important reaction in a wide variety of biological processes. [1] Phosphofructokinase catalyses the phosphorylation of fructose-6-phosphate to fructose-1,6-bisphosphate, a key regulatory step in the glycolytic pathway. [2][3] It is allosterically inhibited by ATP and ...
1-phosphofructokinase. In enzymology, 1-phosphofructokinase (EC 2.7.1.56) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction. Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are ATP and D-fructose 1-phosphate, whereas its two products are ADP and D-fructose 1,6-bisphosphate. The enzyme was first described and characterized in the 1960s. [1][2]
Phosphofructokinase-1 catalyses the addition of a phosphate to F-6-P to form Fructose-1,6-bisphosphate (F-1,6-BP). This is an essential step in the glycolysis pathway, which forms the first part of aerobic respiration in mammals. F-2,6-BP also binds to and decreases the activity of fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase.

Phosphofructokinase deficiency; Other names: Glycogen storage disease type VII or Tarui's disease [1] [2] A rendering of the human muscular form of phosphofructokinase. Mutations in the production of this enzyme are the cause of Tarui's disease. [3] The symmetry of the enzyme is a result of its tetrameric structure. Specialty: Endocrinology ...
Pasteur effect. The Pasteur effect describes how available oxygen inhibits ethanol fermentation, driving yeast to switch toward aerobic respiration for increased generation of the energy carrier adenosine triphosphate (ATP). [1] More generally, in the medical literature, the Pasteur effect refers to how the cellular presence of oxygen causes in ...
Fructose 2,6-bisphosphate, abbreviated Fru-2,6-P2, is a metabolite that allosterically affects the activity of the enzymes phosphofructokinase 1 (PFK-1) and fructose 1,6-bisphosphatase (FBPase-1) to regulate glycolysis and gluconeogenesis. [1] Fru-2,6- P2 itself is synthesized and broken down in either direction by the integrated bifunctional ...
PFKM. 6-phosphofructokinase, muscle type is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the PFKM gene on chromosome 12. Three phosphofructokinase isozymes exist in humans: muscle, liver and platelet. These isozymes function as subunits of the mammalian tetramer phosphofructokinase, which catalyzes the phosphorylation of fructose-6-phosphate to ...
