Fructose 6-phosphate (also known as the
Neuberg ester) is
fructose sugar
phosphorylated on carbon 6 (i.e., is a
fructosephosphate). The ß-
D-form of this compound is very common in
cells. The vast majority of
glucose and fructose entering a cell will become converted to this at some point. The name
Neuberg ester comes from the German biochemist
Carl Neuberg.
