Ra·po·port-Lue·be·ring shunt

(rap'ŏ-pōrt lū'bĕr-ing), part of the glycolytic pathway characteristic of human erythrocytes in which 2,3-bisphosphoglycerate (2,3-P2Gri) is formed as an intermediate between 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate and 3-phosphoglycerate; 2,3-P2Gri is an important regulator of the affinity of hemoglobin for oxygen.
