Abstract
The distribution of enzymes interconverting fructose 6‐phosphate and fructose 1,6‐bisphosphate has been studied in a range of tissues from castor bean seedlings. In each tissue the activity of PPi:fructose 6‐phosphate phosphotransferase was greater than phosphofructokinase and substantial compared with fructose 1,6‐bisphosphatase. PPi:fructose 6‐phosphate phosphotransferase in endosperm is apparently confined to the cytoplasm. The role of this latter enzyme in vivo is discussed.This publication has 14 references indexed in Scilit:
