Rabbit anti-Human FBP1 Polyclonal Antibody

Uniprot Id

P09467

Target Species

Human

Target Name

FBP1

Target Full Name

Fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase 1

Target Function

Catalyzes the hydrolysis of fructose 1,6-bisphosphate to fructose 6-phosphate in the presence of divalent cations, acting as a rate-limiting enzyme in gluconeogenesis. Plays a role in regulating glucose sensing and insulin secretion of pancreatic beta-cells. Appears to modulate glycerol gluconeogenesis in liver. Important regulator of appetite and adiposity; increased expression of the protein in liver after nutrient excess increases circulating satiety hormones and reduces appetite-stimulating neuropeptides and thus seems to provide a feedback mechanism to limit weight gain.

Target Involvement

Fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase deficiency (FBP1D)

Target Protein Families

FBPase class 1 family

Target Tissue Specificity

Expressed in pancreatic islets.

Target Research Area

Signal Transduction, Epigenetics and Nuclear Signaling

Target Synonyms

6-bisphosphatase 1; 6-bisphosphate 1-phosphohydrolase 1; D fructose 1 6 bisphosphate 1 phosphohydrolase 1; D-fructose-1; EC 3.1.3.11; F16P1_HUMAN; FBP; FBP 1; FBP1; FBPase 1; Fructose 1 6 bisphosphatase 1; Fructose bisphosphatase 1; Fructose-1; Growth inhibiting protein 17; Liver fructose bisphosphatase

Target Background

Fructose-1, 6-bisphosphatase 1, a gluconeogenesis regulatory enzyme, catalyzes the hydrolysis of fructose 1, 6-bisphosphate to fructose 6-phosphate and inorganic phosphate. Fructose-1, 6-diphosphatase deficiency is associated with hypoglycemia and metabolic acidosis.
