(biochemistry) Initialism of fructose 6-phosphate.
Examples
Fructose 2,6-bisphosphate (F2,6BP) is a very potent activator of phosphofructokinase (PFK-1) that is synthesized when F6P is phosphorylated by a second phosphofructokinase ( PFK2 ).
This negates the action of F6P on glucokinase, citation which ultimately favors the forward reaction.
The protein has two binding sites for ATP – the active site is accessible in either protein conformation, but ATP binding to the inhibitor site stabilizes the conformation that binds F6P poorly.
