The absence of fructokinase results in the inability to phosphorylate fructose to fructose-1-phosphate within the cell. As a result, fructose is neither trapped within the cell nor directed toward its metabolism. [11] Free fructose concentrations in the liver increase and fructose is free to leave the cell and enter plasma.
Frk 2 has a higher affinity for fructose than Frk 1 but Frk 2 activity is inhibited by high levels of fructose, whereas Frk 1 activity is not. [ 2 ] In Sinorhizobium meliloti , a common gram-soil bacterium, fructokinase is also used in the metabolism of mannitol and sorbitol, in addition to the metabolism of fructose.
Hepatic fructokinase (or ketohexokinase) is an enzyme that catalyzes the phosphorylation of fructose to produce fructose-1-phosphate. ATP + {\displaystyle \longrightarrow } ADP + ATP + D-fructose → ADP + D-fructose-1-phosphate [ 1 ]
Many of the enzymes for the fatty acid synthesis are organized into a multienzyme complex called fatty acid synthase. [5] The major sites of fatty acid synthesis are adipose tissue and the liver . [ 6 ]
6-phosphofructokinase, liver type (PFKL) is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the PFKL gene on chromosome 21. [5] This gene encodes the liver (L) isoform of phosphofructokinase-1 , an enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of D - fructose 6-phosphate to D - fructose 1,6-bisphosphate , which is a key step in glucose metabolism ( glycolysis ).
Fru-2,6-P 2 strongly activates glucose breakdown in glycolysis through allosteric modulation (activation) of phosphofructokinase 1 (PFK-1).Elevated expression of Fru-2,6-P 2 levels in the liver allosterically activates phosphofructokinase 1 by increasing the enzyme’s affinity for fructose 6-phosphate, while decreasing its affinity for inhibitory ATP and citrate.
