Definition
- PFK1- allosteric regulation
- AMP/ADP (+)

- F-2,6-bis P (+)- when glucose level is low, glucagon is released into the bloodstream, triggering a cAMP signal cascade. Protein kinase A thus activated phosphorylates the bifunctional enzyme, activating FBPase2 which lowers frustose 2,6-bisphosphate (F-2,6-BP) levels. Because F-2,6-BP normally stimulates phosphofructokinase-1 (PFK1), the decrease in its concentration leads to the inhibition of glycolysis and the stimulation of gluconeogenesis
