Popis: Oxidized glutathione was found to be in the normal range in pyruvate kinase (ATP: pyruvate 2-O- phosphotransferase , EC 2.7.1.40) deficient erythrocytes and in erythrocytes from obligate heterozygotes with this inborn error of metabolism. Physiological concentrations of oxidized glutathione failed to affect the kinetics and stability of pyruvate kinase. From the data reported in this paper it seems to be unlikely that pyruvate kinase deficiency is the consequence of an increased oxidized glutathione concentration in the red blood cell.
