Nomenclature
This enzyme belongs to the family of transferases, specifically those transferring phosphorus-containing groups (phosphotransferases) with an alcohol group as acceptor. The systematic name of this enzyme class is diphosphate:D-fructose-6-phosphate 1-phosphotransferase. Other names in common use include:
- 6-phosphofructokinase (pyrophosphate),
- inorganic pyrophosphate-dependent phosphofructokinase,
- inorganic pyrophosphate-phosphofructokinase,
- pyrophosphate-dependent phosphofructo-1-kinase, and
- pyrophosphate-fructose 6-phosphate 1-phosphotransferase,
- pyrophosphate-fructose 6-phosphate phosphotransferase
