When blood glucose rises above 5 mM, hexokinase IV activity increases, but hexokinase I is already operating near Vmax and cannot respond to an increase in glucose concentration.
#Id: 327
Hexokinase IV is subject to inhibition by the reversible binding of a regulatory protein specific to liver
#Id: 333
Fructose 2,6-bisphosphate binds to its allosteric site on PFK-1, it increases the enzyme’s affinity for its substrate fructose 6-phosphate and reduces its affinity for the allosteric inhibitors ATP and citrate
#Id: 335
Glucagon lowers the cellular level of fructose 2,6 bisphosphate, inhibiting glycolysis and stimulating gluconeogenesis.
#Id: 342
Accumulation of alanine, which can be synthesized from pyruvate in one step, allosterically inhibits pyruvate kinase, slowing the production of pyruvate by glycolysis
