fructose 2 6 bisphoate

  #5

this should be automatic

  #6

Isnt it supposed to be an intracellular signal molecule?
I go with cAMP.

  #7

tiz_83,

high levels of AMP signal the phosphrylation of f6p. Not cAMP
In addition, F26P in this case is considered an intracellular signal.

  #8

But I was referring to glucagon inhibiting PFK2 via cAMP dependent protein kinase A and lowering F 2,6 BP and thereby regulating phosphorylation of Fructose 6 phosphate



  #9

that could be correct and I see your point. However, the question does not state directly or indirectly. In this case, F26P would be directly and cAMP would be indirectly. What do you think>?

I dont know....wish NBME ppl could provide us answers....I feel so vague after giving them!
