PFK is an enzyme that catalyzes a reaction early in glycolysis. When it catalyzes the reaction, it causes glycolysis to proceed. If the reaction is not catalyzed, the sugar is instead directed to pathways that convert the sugar to forms of energy that can be stored. PFK’s activity is regulated by cAMP. cAMP is present in cells when ATP levels are low. cAMP can bind to PFK and allosterically regulate its activity. In order for a cell to maintain appropriate levels of ATP production, cAMP binding to PFK should cause the activity of PFK to ______.
