Fructose 2,6-bisphosphate has been discovered as a potent stimulator of liver phosphofructokinase. It is also an inhibitor of fructose 1,6-biphosphatase and a stimulator of PPi: fructose 6-phosphate phosphotransferase from higher plants. It is formed from fructose 6-phosphate and ATP by a 6-phosphofructo 2-kinase and hydrolysed by a fructose 2,6-bisphosphatase. These two enzymes have very similar physicochemical properties and could not be separated from each other. They are substrates for cyclic-AMP-dependent protein kinase, which inactivates the first enzyme and activates the second.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
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
D010766	Phosphorylation	The introduction of a phosphoryl group into a compound through the formation of an ester bond between the compound and a phosphorus moiety.	Phosphorylations
D010770	Phosphotransferases	A rather large group of enzymes comprising not only those transferring phosphate but also diphosphate, nucleotidyl residues, and others. These have also been subdivided according to the acceptor group. (From Enzyme Nomenclature, 1992) EC 2.7.

D005635	Fructosediphosphates	Diphosphoric acid esters of fructose. The fructose-1,6- diphosphate isomer is most prevalent. It is an important intermediate in the glycolysis process.
D005943	Gluconeogenesis	Biosynthesis of GLUCOSE from nonhexose or non-carbohydrate precursors, such as LACTATE; PYRUVATE; ALANINE; and GLYCEROL.
D006019	Glycolysis	A metabolic process that converts GLUCOSE into two molecules of PYRUVIC ACID through a series of enzymatic reactions. Energy generated by this process is conserved in two molecules of ATP. Glycolysis is the universal catabolic pathway for glucose, free glucose, or glucose derived from complex CARBOHYDRATES, such as GLYCOGEN and STARCH.

D000242	Cyclic AMP	An adenine nucleotide containing one phosphate group which is esterified to both the 3'- and 5'-positions of the sugar moiety. It is a second messenger and a key intracellular regulator, functioning as a mediator of activity for a number of hormones, including epinephrine, glucagon, and ACTH.

D000818	Animals	Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D025481	Phosphofructokinase-2	An allosteric enzyme that regulates glycolysis and gluconeogenesis by catalyzing the transfer of a phosphate group from ATP to fructose-6-phosphate to yield fructose-2,6-bisphosphate, an allosteric effector for the other 6-phosphofructokinase, PHOSPHOFRUCTOKINASE-1. Phosphofructokinase-2 is bifunctional: the dephosphorylated form is a kinase and the phosphorylated form is a phosphatase that breaks down fructose-2,6-bisphosphate to yield fructose-6-phosphate.	6-Phosphofructo-2-kinase,6-Phosphofructo-2-kinase-fructose-2,6-bisphosphatase,Fructose-2,6-bisphosphatase,6-PF-2-K-Fru-2,6-P(2)ase,6-Phosphofructo 2-kinase-fructose 2,6-bisphosphatase,6PF2K,ATP-D-Fructose-6-phosphate 2-phosphotransferase,F Kinase-F-bisphosphatase,Fru-6-P,2-kinase,Fru-kinase-Fru-bisphosphatase,Fructose 2,6-bisphosphatase,Fructose-2,6-bisphosphate 2-phosphatase,Fructose-6-P,2-kinase,Fructose-6-phosphate,2-kinase,Fructose-6-phosphate,2-kinase-fructose-2,6-bisphosphatase,fructose-2,6-diphosphatase,Phosphofructokinase 2
