Upregulation of heart PFK-2/FBPase-2 isozyme in skeletal muscle after persistent contraction.

Fructose-2,6-bisphosphate (Fru-2,6-P(2)) is the most potent allosteric activator of liver 6-phosphofructo-1-kinase enzyme, which is crucial for glycolysis. It is present in skeletal muscle but its importance is controversial as a regulator of muscle glycolysis. This study aims to determine the role of Fru-2,6-P(2) in the control of muscle glycolysis during contraction.
