Description
Product Characteristics:
6 Phosphofructo 2 Kinase plays a role in the synthesis and degradation of fructose 2,6-bisphosphate. Fructose-2,6-bisphosphate acts as an allosteric regulator of 6-phosphofructo-1-kinase (PFK1), which catalyses a key step in the glycoytic pathway. Glycolytic flux is key to tumour growth, and small molecule inhibition of 6 Phosphofructo 2 Kinase suppresses both glycolytic flux and tumour growth. Several lines of evidence suggest that 6 Phosphofructo 2 Kinase is also involved in obesity.
