A rat gene encoding heart 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase/fructose-2,6-bisphosphatase.
There are at least 3 isozymes of 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase/fructose-2,6-bisphosphatase, a bifunctional enzyme which catalyzes the synthesis and degradation of fructose 2,6-bisphosphate. A 22-kb rat gene that encodes the heart isozyme has been identified and compared with the 55-kb rat gene encoding the liver and muscle isozymes which had been described earlier. Although these 2 genes include 12 successive similar exons, they contain dissimilar exons at both ends, consistent with the occurrence of different regulatory domains at the N- and C-termini in the 3 isozymes.
