Bisphosphoglycerate mutase

Active

Description

Bisphosphoglycerate mutase (BPGM) is an enzyme unique to erythrocytes and placental cells. BPGM is responsible for the catalytic synthesis of 2,3-Bisphosphoglycerate (2,3-BPG) from 1,3-BPG. Bisphosphoglycerate has a mutase and a phosphatase function, but these are much less active, in contrast to its glycolitic cousin, phosphoglycerate mutase (PGM), which favors these two functions, but can also catalyze the synthesis of 2,3-BPG to a lesser extent. Deficiencies of BPGM and bisphosphoglycerate phosphatase (BPGP) are associated with mild erythrocytosis due to absence of 2,3-diphosphoglycerate (2,3-DPG).
