During the catabolism of carbohydrates, various pathways are utilized to break down glucose into usable energy. One of the key regulatory enzymes in glycolysis is phosphofructokinase-1 (PFK-1), which is influenced by various metabolites. This enzyme catalyzes the conversion of fructose-6-phosphate to fructose-1,6-bisphosphate. The activity of PFK-1 is crucial in determining the flow of carbon through glycolysis.
Which of the following metabolites acts as an allosteric inhibitor of phosphofructokinase-1?
