| Application: | Fructose-6-phosphate kinase from Bacillus stearothermophilus has been used: • in steady state analysis of phosphofructokinase activity in the presence of ATP deuterated at the C8 position(C8-D ATP) • for standard curve generation for quantifying muscle phosphofructokinase (PFK) activity |
| Application: | Fructose-6-phosphate Kinase from Bacillus stearothermophilus was shown to interact with neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS) causing a defect in glycolytic metabolism and increased fatigability in dystrophic muscle. |
| Application: | Fructose-6-phosphate Kinase from Bacillus stearothermophilus has been used in the assay mixture for mass spectrometry assay for phosphoglucoisomerase (PGI) (G6P to F6P reaction). |
| Biochem/physiol Actions: | Fructose-1,6-bisphosphata |
| Biochem/physiol Actions: | Phosphofructokinase (PFK) is an essential bifunctional enzyme that serves as a critical regulator in the intermediate stages of glycolysis. PFK is strongly linked to caveolae and is brought to caveolae by caveolin-1 in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs). |
| General description: | Fructose-6-phosphate kinase from Bacillus stearothermophilus, a 34 kDa enzyme, belongs to phosphofructokinase (PFK) - like superfamily. The glutamate 161 and arginine 162 residues at the active site are crucial for substrate binding. |
| General description: | Research Area: Cell Signaling Bacillus stearothermophilus phosphofructokinase (BsPFK) is a homotetramer that is allosterically inhibited by phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP), which binds along one dimer-dimer interface. |
| Other Notes: | One unit will convert 1.0 μmole of fructose 6-phosphate and ATP to fructose 1,6-diphosphate and ADP per minute at pH 9.0 at 30 °C. |
| Packaging: | 100, 250 units in glass bottle |
