✦ Synopsis

Fructose-1,6-bisphosphate affects the rate of a large variety of enzyme reactions. In some instances its role as a physiologic effector is well documented. In many cases the effects of fructose bishosphate on particular enzymes have been demonstrated in vitro but the link to physiologic conditions has not yet been established. It is the purpose of this paper to summarize the scattered findings in fructose bisphosphate as an effector of enzyme reactions and to draw some conclusions about the role of the compound in metabolic regulation.
