  2. 2,3-Bisphosphoglyceric acid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2,3-bisphosphoglyceric_acid

    2,3-BPG is formed from 1,3-BPG by the enzyme BPG mutase.It can then be broken down by 2,3-BPG phosphatase to form 3-phosphoglycerate.Its synthesis and breakdown are, therefore, a way around a step of glycolysis, with the net expense of one ATP per molecule of 2,3-BPG generated as the high-energy carboxylic acid-phosphate mixed anhydride bond is cleaved by 2,3-BPG phosphatase.

  3. Luebering–Rapoport pathway - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luebering–Rapoport_pathway

    In biochemistry, the Luebering–Rapoport pathway (also called the Luebering–Rapoport shunt) is a metabolic pathway in mature erythrocytes involving the formation of 2,3-bisphosphoglycerate (2,3-BPG), which regulates oxygen release from hemoglobin and delivery to tissues. 2,3-BPG, the reaction product of the Luebering–Rapoport pathway was first described and isolated in 1925 by the ...

  4. Bisphosphoglycerate mutase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bisphosphoglycerate_mutase

    Because the main function of bisphosphoglycerate mutase is the synthesis of 2,3-BPG, this enzyme is found only in erythrocytes and placental cells. [2] In glycolysis, converting 1,3-BPG to 2,3-BPG would be very inefficient, as it just adds another unnecessary step. Since the main role of 2,3-BPG is to shift the equilibrium of hemoglobin toward ...

    2,3-Bisphosphoglycerate 3-phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.80, MIPP1, 2,3-BPG 3-phosphatase) is an enzyme with systematic name 2,3-bisphospho-D-glycerate 3-phosphohydrolase. [1] This enzyme catalyses the following reaction:

  6. Oxygen–hemoglobin dissociation curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxygen–hemoglobin...

    In the absence of 2,3-BPG, hemoglobin's affinity for oxygen increases. 2,3-BPG acts as a heteroallosteric effector of hemoglobin, lowering hemoglobin's affinity for oxygen by binding preferentially to deoxyhemoglobin. An increased concentration of BPG in red blood cells favours formation of the T (taut or tense), low-affinity state of ...

  7. Fetal hemoglobin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fetal_hemoglobin

    One of the molecules is 2,3-bisphosphoglycerate (2,3-BPG) and it enhances hemoglobin's ability to release oxygen. [13] 2,3-BPG interacts much more with hemoglobin A than hemoglobin F. This is because the adult β subunit has more positive charges than the fetal γ subunit, which attract the negative charges from 2,3-BPG.
