Adenosine monophosphate , aged

Approximately 80% of red blood cell purines are in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) with an intracellular concentration estimated to be 2-3 mM. In glucose-deprived or aged red cells there is a progressive decline in the ATP content of the erythrocyte leading to the formation of adenosine diphosphate (ADP) and adenosine monophosphate (AMP) AMP is then dephosphorylated (via 5 -nucleotidase) to...
