    Abstract:
    1. Regulation of phosphofructokinase in rat submandibular gland was non-Michaelis-Menten type at physiological pH. 2. At pH 7.3, ATP played a dual role on phosphofructokinase acting as a substrate and inhibitor at high concentration of ATP. 3. The activator of phosphofructokinase was present in cytosol fraction, and its properties were resemble to those of fructose 2,6-bisphosphate. 4. Both the activator and authentic fructose 2,6-bisphosphate relieved the inhibition of phosphofructokinase by ATP, and increased the affinity for fructose 6-phosphate. 5. Concentration of fructose 2,6-bisphosphate in rat submandibular gland was 8.22 nmol/g tissue, and which was about the half of that in liver. 6. Phosphofructokinase in rat submandibular gland was found to be regulated synergistically by ATP, fructose 6-phosphate and fructose 2,6-bisphosphate.
