2-Phosphoglycerate

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

2-Phosphoglycerate (2PG) is a glyceric acid which serves as the substrate in the ninth step of glycolysis. It is catalyzed by enolase into phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP), the penultimate step in the conversion of glucose to pyruvate.

It has a molecular formula of C3H7O7P.
