Rate Limiting Step of Gluconeogenesis

[mrmandrake]

Ok, I read in First Aid the rate limiting step of gluconeogenesis is pyruvate carboxylase but in my lecture notes, it's fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase.

It seems a quick search online shows fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase to be the answer, but why would First Aid (which is used so extensively) be wrong?

Thanks guys.

it is fructose 1,6 bisphosphate.

i'm assuming you have the 2008 version, they corrected the error here: http://firstaidteam.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/step-1-errata-060108.pdf

Whomp, there it is!!!

The correct answer - Fructose 1,6 bisphos 😀

Wow that is a LOT of errors. Kind of makes me think twice about relying so heavily on First Aid to study for the boards.
