D(+)FRUCTOFURANOSE 1,6-DIPHOSPHATE TETRA(CYCLOHEXYLAMMONIUM) SALT

D-Fructose-1,6-bisphosphate (FBP) may be used as an allosteric activator of enzymes such as pyruvate kinase and NAD+-dependent L-(+)-lactate dehydrogenase, as an inhibitor of acetate kinase and as a substrate to identify and characterize enzymes such as fructose-1,6-bisphosphate aldolase(s) and fructose-1, 6-bisphosphatase(s). FBP is studied as a neuroprotective agent in brain injury.
