Function

Fructokinase (FRK) catalyzes the phosphorylation of fructose to fructose-1-phosphate using ATP as phosphate source in plants, bacteria and animals. In plants and bacteria FRK regulates starch synthesis. In animals it produces oxalate and its precursors^[1].

Relevance

Inhibitors of FRK C may block sugar-associated metabolic syndromes.

Disease

FRK deficiency in the liver causes the inherited metabolic disorder Fructosuria^[2].
