Name for conversion of fructose in to mannose and glucose

Answer 1

Mannose-6-phosphate is converted to fructose-6-phosphate, by the enzyme phosphomannose isomerase, and then enters the glycolytic pathway or is converted to glucose-6-phosphate by the gluconeogenic pathway of hepatocytes. Mannose is a dominant monosaccharide in N-linked glycosylation.
