Phosphofructokinase

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"PFK" redirects here. PFK (Poulet Frit Kentucky) is also the name for KFC in French-speaking Quebec, Canada. For the Polish hip-hop group, see Paktofonika.

Phosphofructokinase is a kinase enzyme which acts upon Fructose 6-phosphate. There are two types:

• Phosphofructokinase 1 - converts to fructose-1,6-bisphosphate
• Phosphofructokinase 2 - converts to fructose-2,6-bisphosphate

Phosphofructokinase (PFK) is a glycolytic enzyme that catalizes the irreversible transfer of a phosphate from ATP to fructose-6-phosphate. This is the most important control point of glycolysis.
