Reaction: ATP + β-D-fructose 6-phosphate = ADP + β-D-fructose 2,6-bisphosphate
Other name(s): phosphofructokinase 2; 6-phosphofructose 2-kinase; 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase (phosphorylating); fructose 6-phosphate 2-kinase; ATP:D-fructose-6-phosphate 2-phosphotransferase
Systematic name: ATP:β-D-fructose-6-phosphate 2-phosphotransferase
Comments: Not identical with EC 2.7.1.11 6-phosphofructokinase. The enzyme co-purifies with EC 3.1.3.46 fructose-2,6-bisphosphate 2-phosphatase.
