Biochem/physiol Actions
Metabolite formed via the activity of Glucose-1,6-biphosphate synthase. Glucose-1,6-biphosphate (G-1,6-BP) acts as an inhibitor of hexokinase function and an activator of phosphofructokinase-1 and pyruvate kinase. G-1,6-BP also acts as a coenzyme for phosphoglucomutate and a cofactor for phosphopentomutase.
