Anion transport and 2,3-diphosphoglycerate in cystic fibrosis red blood cells. 1984

A G Berghout, and S W Bender

The monovalent and divalent anion transport in red blood cells from patients with cystic fibrosis and controls is not significantly different. The protein pattern of the erythrocyte membrane, as seen by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electropherograms, is similar in cystic fibrosis and control red blood cells. The 2,3-diphosphoglycerate content of the investigated cystic fibrosis red blood cells is normal.

D003550	Cystic Fibrosis	An autosomal recessive genetic disease of the EXOCRINE GLANDS. It is caused by mutations in the gene encoding the CYSTIC FIBROSIS TRANSMEMBRANE CONDUCTANCE REGULATOR expressed in several organs including the LUNG, the PANCREAS, the BILIARY SYSTEM, and the SWEAT GLANDS. Cystic fibrosis is characterized by epithelial secretory dysfunction associated with ductal obstruction resulting in AIRWAY OBSTRUCTION; chronic RESPIRATORY INFECTIONS; PANCREATIC INSUFFICIENCY; maldigestion; salt depletion; and HEAT PROSTRATION.

D019794	2,3-Diphosphoglycerate	A highly anionic organic phosphate which is present in human red blood cells at about the same molar ratio as hemoglobin. It binds to deoxyhemoglobin but not the oxygenated form, therefore diminishing the oxygen affinity of hemoglobin. This is essential in enabling hemoglobin to unload oxygen in tissue capillaries. It is also an intermediate in the conversion of 3-phosphoglycerate to 2-phosphoglycerate by phosphoglycerate mutase (EC 5.4.2.1).
