FBP2
Description
The FBP2 (fructose-bisphosphatase 2) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 9.
FBP2 is a gene that encodes for an enzyme involved in gluconeogenesis. This enzyme catalyzes the breakdown of fructose 2,6-bisphosphate into fructose 6-phosphate and inorganic phosphate. This gene is essential for regulating gluconeogenesis, a metabolic pathway that generates glucose from non-carbohydrate sources.
FBP2 catalyzes the conversion of fructose 1,6-bisphosphate to fructose 6-phosphate in the presence of divalent cations, likely playing a role in glycogen synthesis from sources like lactate.
FBP2 is also known as CORLK.
