Protein Description
2,3-bisphosphoglycerate mutase
Background
Bisphosphoglycerate mutase is an erythrocyte-specific enzyme catalyzing a series of intermolecular phosphoryl group transfer reactions. Its main function is to synthesize 2,3-bisphosphoglycerate, the allosteric effector of hemoglobin.
Ligand Chemical Component
3-phosphoglyceric acid; 2,3-diphosphoglyceric acid; cyclohexylammonium ion
