Fructose-bisphosphate aldolase

UniProtKB accession:  P07764

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Enzyme of the glycolytic pathway (Probable). Glycolysis is essential in glial cells but not in neurons; neurons rely on the citric acid cycle for their energy needs, and on lactate and alanine secreted into the hemolymph by glial cells to fuel it (PubMed:26235423). May take part in developmental stage-specific or tissue -specific sugar-phosphate metabolisms (PubMed:8537310). Protein acts on two substrates fructose 1,6-bisphosphate and fructose 1-phosphate (like other class I aldolases) (PubMed:8537310).
