Phosphofructokinase-2 MeSH Descriptor Data 2025


MeSH Heading
Phosphofructokinase-2
Tree Number(s)
D08.811.277.352.650.622
D08.811.641.843
D08.811.913.696.620.225.850.750

Scope Note
An allosteric enzyme that regulates glycolysis and gluconeogenesis by catalyzing the transfer of a phosphate group from ATP to fructose-6-phosphate to yield fructose-2,6-bisphosphate, an allosteric effector for the other 6-phosphofructokinase, PHOSPHOFRUCTOKINASE-1. Phosphofructokinase-2 is bifunctional: the dephosphorylated form is a kinase and the phosphorylated form is a phosphatase that breaks down fructose-2,6-bisphosphate to yield fructose-6-phosphate.
