Fructose bisphosphate aldolase

Description:
Fructose bisphosphate aldolase, also known as aldolase, is an enzyme that plays a crucial role in the glycolytic pathway, facilitating the reversible conversion of fructose-1,6-bisphosphate into dihydroxyacetone phosphate and glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate. This enzyme is essential for carbohydrate metabolism and is found in various organisms, including bacteria, plants, and animals. It typically operates in the cytoplasm and is characterized by its ability to catalyze aldol condensation reactions, which involve the formation of carbon-carbon bonds. Fructose bisphosphate aldolase is a tetrameric protein, meaning it is composed of four subunits, and its activity is influenced by factors such as pH, temperature, and the presence of specific ions or cofactors. The enzyme's structure allows for substrate specificity and efficient catalysis, making it vital for energy production in cells. Its CAS number, 9024-52-6, is a unique identifier that helps in the classification and study of this enzyme in biochemical research and applications.
