3.5.1.3 Phosphorylation of fructose 6-phosphate to fructose 1, 6-bisphosphate
This reaction is catalyzed by the enzyme phosphofructokinase to produce fructose 1, 6-bisphosphate from Fructose 6 phosphate. The phosphofructokinase reaction is irreversible under physiologic conditions.PEK is the enzyme for the principal rate-limiting step to glycolysis. Phosphofructokinase Fructose 6 phosphate+ ATP → Fructose 1, 6-bisphosphate+ ADP |
