title: [Fructosamine 3-kinase and protein repair].
abstract: It was thought until recently that fructosamines are not metabolized in mammalian cells. Quite to the contrary, a mammalian enzyme, fructosamine 3-kinase, has recently been identified, which phosphorylates fructosamines on their third carbon, making them unstable and leading to their shedding from proteins. Fructosamine 3-kinase is therefore responsible for protein deglycation, one of the few protein repair mechanisms that have been identified.
