Phosphofructokinase

Active

Description

Phosphofructokinase (PFK) is a kinase enzyme that phosphorylates fructose-6-phosphate to fructose-1,6-bisphosphate in the glycolytic pathway. PFK exists as a homotetramer in bacteria and mammals (where each monomer possesses 2 similar domains) and as an octomer in yeast (where there are 4 alpha- (PFK1) and 4 beta-chains (PFK2)). Deficiency in PFK leads to glycogenosis type VII (Tarui's disease), an autosomal recessive disorder characterised by severe nausea, vomiting, muscle cramps and myoglobinuria in response to bursts of intense or vigorous exercise. Individuals with PFK deficiency are usually able to relieve symptoms by adjusting activity levels. Copyright Text is available under the Creative Commons Attribution/Share-Alike License.
