Type: | Family | Name: | Pyrophosphate-dependent phosphofructokinase TM0289 type |
Description: | This entry represents the pyrophosphate-dependent phosphofructokinase, TM0289 type. It catalyses the phosphorylation of D-fructose 6-phosphate, the first committing step of glycolysis. It uses inorganic phosphate (PPi) as phosphoryl donor instead of ATP like common ATP-dependent phosphofructokinases (ATP-PFKs), which renders the reaction reversible, and can thus function both in glycolysis and gluconeogenesis [, ]. | Short Name: | PPi-PFK_TM0289 |
