Description
Application
D-Fructose-1,6-bisphosphate (FBP) may be used as an allosteric activator of enzymes such as pyruvate kinase and NAD⁺-dependent L-(+)-lactate dehydrogenase, as an inhibitor of acetate kinase and as a substrate to identify and characterize enzymes such as fructose-1,6-bisphosphate aldolase(s) and fructose-1, 6-bisphosphatase(s). FBP is studied as a neuroprotective agent in brain injury.
Biochem/physiol Actions
D-Fructose-1,6-bisphosphate (FBP), a common metabolic sugar, is the precursor of glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate and dihydroxyacetone phosphate in the glycolytic pathway.
