Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A hexokinase deficiency will result in a deficiency of 2,3-BPG in the red blood cell, which would shift the oxygen dissociation curve to the left.The hexokinase enzyme appears in the glycolytic pathway before the production of 2,3-BPG.A pyruvate kinase deficiency would result in a build up of 2,3-BPG, resulting in a shift of the oxygen dissociation curve to the right.The pyruvate kinase enzyme appears in the glycolytic pathway after the production of 2,3-BPG.
