Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Fructose 2,6-bisphosphate (F2,6BP) is a potent activator of phosphofructokinase, which is a rate-limiting enzyme of glycolysis. The concentration of F2,6BP depends on the activity of the bifunctional enzyme, 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase/fructose-2,6-bisphosphatase (PFK-2/FBPase). Four genes encoding PFK-2/FBPase have been identified and termed PFKFB1 to PFKFB4. PFKFB3 protein is expressed in high levels in...
