Several isozymes of 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase/fructose-2, 6-bisphosphatase have been characterized from mammalian tissues and, based on tissue origin, they are classified as liver, skeletal muscle, heart, testis, and placenta isozymes. In this paper, we examined the tissue distribution of placenta-type isozyme in rat tissues at the levels of transcription and translation. Analysis by Northern blotting showed that placenta, brain, testis, liver, kidney, and skeletal muscle expressed mRNA of placenta-type isozyme. Western blot analysis of fractions from POROS-HQ column chromatography of extracts from various rat tissues showed that proteins of placenta-type isozyme are expressed in placenta, brain, testis, liver, spleen, heart and lung, but not in kidney and skeletal muscle. An immunohistochemical study showed that, in liver, placenta-type isozyme is localized in Kupffer cells. These results indicate that isozymes of this particular enzyme may occur in particular cell types within each tissue.

D009097 Multienzyme Complexes Systems of enzymes which function sequentially by catalyzing consecutive reactions linked by common metabolic intermediates. They may involve simply a transfer of water molecules or hydrogen atoms and may be associated with large supramolecular structures such as MITOCHONDRIA or RIBOSOMES. Complexes, Multienzyme
D010732 Phosphofructokinase-1 An allosteric enzyme that regulates glycolysis by catalyzing the transfer of a phosphate group from ATP to fructose-6-phosphate to yield fructose-1,6-bisphosphate. D-tagatose- 6-phosphate and sedoheptulose-7-phosphate also are acceptors. UTP, CTP, and ITP also are donors. In human phosphofructokinase-1, three types of subunits have been identified. They are PHOSPHOFRUCTOKINASE-1, MUSCLE TYPE; PHOSPHOFRUCTOKINASE-1, LIVER TYPE; and PHOSPHOFRUCTOKINASE-1, TYPE C; found in platelets, brain, and other tissues. 6-Phosphofructokinase,6-Phosphofructo-1-kinase,Fructose-6-P 1-Kinase,Fructose-6-phosphate 1-Phosphotransferase,6 Phosphofructokinase,Phosphofructokinase 1
D010920 Placenta A highly vascularized mammalian fetal-maternal organ and major site of transport of oxygen, nutrients, and fetal waste products. It includes a fetal portion (CHORIONIC VILLI) derived from TROPHOBLASTS and a maternal portion (DECIDUA) derived from the uterine ENDOMETRIUM. The placenta produces an array of steroid, protein and peptide hormones (PLACENTAL HORMONES). Placentoma, Normal,Placentome,Placentas,Placentomes
