Background: Fructosamine-3-kinase/FN3K

Nonenzymatic glycation (Maillard reaction) is a process in which glucose and other sugars react spontaneously with amine-containing molecules, such as proteins (1). These reactions proceed through many stages, starting with glucosylamines (Schiff bases), fructosamines (Amadori compounds) (2), and aminoaldoses (Heyns compounds) (3) and ultimately lead to the formation of irreversible end products, which include crosslinks, aromatic heterocycles, and oxidized compounds (4), that are designated collectively as advanced glycation end products (AGEs) (5). The concentrations of these products are elevated in diabetes, and important in the etiology of diabetes complications (6, 7). Fructosamine-3-phosphokinase (FN3K) is a kinase that phosphorylates fructoselysine and a wide variety of fructosamines, therefore removing these AGEs (8-10). Lost the protective enzymatic activity of FN3K is also associated with the oncology of colorectal cancer (11). FN3K is particularly active in brain, heart, kidney, and skeletal muscle and in erythrocytes (12,13). The kinase activity of recombinant human PFKFB3 was assayed using a phosphatase-coupled method (14).
