Application

D-Fructose-1,6-bisphosphate (FBP), a common metabolic sugar, is the precursor of glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate and dihydroxyacetone phosphate in the glycolytic pathway. It may be used as an allosteric activator of enzymes such as pyruvate kinase and NAD+-dependent L-(+)-lactate dehydrogenase, as an inhibitor of acetate kinase and as a substrate to identify and characterize enzymes such as fructose-1,6-bisphosphate aldolase(s) and fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase(s). FBP is studied as a neuroprotective agent in brain injury.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Fructose-1,6-biphosphate (F1,6P) is a glycolytic intermediate produced by the transfer of a phosphate from ATP to fructose-6-phosphate by the enzyme phosphofructokinase. Fructose-1,6-biphosphate, along with fructose-2,6-biphosphate, modulates the activity of phosphofructokinase-1 (PFK-1), the rate-limiting step in glycolysis. During glycolysis, aldolase splits Fructose-1,6-biphosphate into dihydroxacetone phosphate (DHAP) and glyceraldehyde phosphate. Fructose-1,6-biphosphate is also an allosteric activator of the M2 isoform of Pyruvate Kinase (PK-M2), the predominant form of pyruvate kinase in cancer cells.

We presents an article about the Warburg effect, and how it is the enhanced conversion of glucose to lactate observed in tumor cells, even in the presence of normal levels of oxygen. Otto Heinrich Warburg demonstrated in 1924 that cancer cells show an increased dependence on glycolysis to meet their energy needs, regardless of whether they were well-oxygenated or not.
