title: Fructose 2,6-bisphosphate and the control of glycolysis in bovine spermatozoa.
abstract: Epididymal bovine sperm contain fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase activity which is inhibited by AMP and by fructose 2,6-bisphosphate. Sperm phosphofructokinase displays kinetic characteristics that are typical of the F-type and it is stimulated by fructose 2,6-bisphosphate. The concentration of sperm fructose 2,6-bisphosphate remained unaffected at 1-2 microM when the glycolytic rate was either increased by glucose, caffeine or antimycin, or decreased by alpha-chlorohydrin or 6-chloro-6-deoxyglucose.
