Erythrocyte fructose 2,6-bisphosphate content in congenital hemolytic anemias.

Abstract excerpt

We have investigated the levels of fructose 2,6-bisphosphate and its synthesizing enzyme 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase in red blood cells from different congenital anemias. Fructose 2,6-bisphosphate concentration and 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase activity are markedly influenced by the number of reticulocytes in all the cases studied with the exception of homozygous pyruvate kinase deficiency, where no correlation was...
