  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. Oxygen–hemoglobin dissociation curve - Wikipedia

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

    2,3-Bisphosphoglycerate or 2,3-BPG (formerly named 2,3-diphosphoglycerate or 2,3-DPG) is an organophosphate formed in red blood cells during glycolysis and is the conjugate base of 2,3-bisphosphoglyceric acid.

  4. 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.

  5. 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 ...

    To do this their hemoglobin levels should not be allowed to drop below 90 to 105 g/L (9 to 10.5 g/dL). ... High levels of 2,3-DPG facilitates oxygen unloading from ...

  7. Bisphosphoglycerate mutase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bisphosphoglycerate_mutase

    Bisphosphoglycerate mutase (EC 5.4.2.4, BPGM) is an enzyme expressed in erythrocytes and placental cells. [2] It is responsible for the catalytic synthesis of 2,3-Bisphosphoglycerate (2,3-BPG) from 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate.

    The last image we have of Patrick Cagey is of his first moments as a free man. He has just walked out of a 30-day drug treatment center in Georgetown, Kentucky, dressed in gym clothes and carrying a Nike duffel bag.

  9. Oxygen saturation (medicine) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxygen_saturation_(medicine)

    Oxygen is more readily released to the tissues (i.e., hemoglobin has a lower affinity for oxygen) when pH is decreased, body temperature is increased, arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO 2) is increased, and 2,3-DPG levels (a byproduct of glucose metabolism also found in stored blood products) are increased. When the hemoglobin ...
