Other names: Fructose-6-phosphate
Layman's explanation: Fructose-6-Phosphate is a phosphorylated form of fructose which is commonly found in plant cells and animal tissues. In plant cells, it serves as an intermediate in glycolysis, gluconeogenesis, the pentose phosphate pathway, and the Calvin cycle. It is also present in animal tissues in an equilibrium mixture with glucose-6-phosphate. In human genetics, its gene symbol is GFPT1, and its locus is 2p13.
Keywords: glycolysis, Calvin cycle
