pfk-1.1 encodes two isoforms of a 6-phosphofructokinase (E.C. 2.7.1.11), paralogous to PFK-1.2; pfk-1.1 is an essential gene, and expressed in proximal germline and in several larval and adult tissues (including neurons, hypodermis, and pharyngeal muscle).
Predicted to enable several functions, including 6-phosphofructokinase activity; carbohydrate derivative binding activity; and identical protein binding activity. Predicted to be involved in canonical glycolysis; fructose 1,6-bisphosphate metabolic process; and fructose 6-phosphate metabolic process. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm. Predicted to be part of 6-phosphofructokinase complex. Expressed in germ line; hypodermis; neurons; and pharynx. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in glycogen storage disease VII. Is an ortholog of human PFKL (phosphofructokinase, liver type) and PFKM (phosphofructokinase, muscle).
Map position created from combination of previous interpolated map position (based on known location of sequence) and allele information. Therefore this is not a genetic map position based on recombination frequencies or genetic experiments. This was done on advice of the CGC.
