Proposed mechanism of the effect of hypoxia on the purine salvage pathway. RBC storage or oxidative stress promotes activation of RBC AMPD3, which in turn catalyzes purine deamination. This phenomenon is in part counteracted by RBC exposure to hypoxia in vivo or ex vivo, which phenocopies the pharmacological inhibition of purine deaminases.
