Placental expression of 2,3 bisphosphoglycerate mutase in IGF-II knock out mouse: correlation of circulating maternal 2,3 bisphosphoglycerate and fetal growth.
Bisphosphoglycerate mutase (BPGM) catalyses the formation of 2,3 bisphosphoglycerate (BPG) a ligand of haemoglobin. BPG facilitates liberation of oxygen from haemoglobin at low oxygen tension enabling efficient delivery of oxygen to tissues. We describe expression of BPGM in mouse labyrinthine troph...
