AMP

(adenosine monophosphate) A phosphorylated nucleoside consisting of the purine adenine and the sugar ribose phosphorylated in the 5' position. AMP is involved in the regulation of glycolysis and gluconeogenesis, promoting the formation of fructose bisphosphate from fructose 6-phosphate (i.e. promoting glycolysis) while inhibiting the back reaction to fructose bisphosphate.
