Phosphofructokinase 2 磷酸果糖激酶2
Phosphofructokinase 2 (PFK2) or fructose bisphosphatase 2 (FBPase2), is an enzyme responsible for regulating the rates of glycolysis and gluconeogenesis in the human body. It is a homodimer of 55 kDa subunits arranged in a head-to-head fashion, with each polypeptide chain consisting of independent kinase and phosphatase domain. When Ser-32 of the bifunctional protein is phosphorylated, the negative charge causes the conformation change of the enzyme to favor the FBPase2 activity; otherwise, PFK2 activity is favored. The PFK2 domain is closely related to the superfamily of mononucleotide binding proteins including adenylate cyclase, whereas that of FBPase2 is related to a family of proteins that include phosphoglycerate mutases.
