Product name:Human 2,3-DPG ELISA Kit
Description:
Hemoglobin is the oxygen-carrying protein that is found within all red blood cells (RBCs). It picks up oxygen where it is abundant (the lungs).
The molecule 2,3-disphosphoglycerate (2,3-DPG ) binds to hemoglobin and lowers its affinity for oxygen, thus promoting oxygen release. In individuals who have become acclimatized to living at high altitudes, the level of 2,3-DPG in the blood increases, allowing the delivery of more oxygen to tissues under low oxygen tension.
