Oxygen is vital for oocyte maturation; however, oxygen regulation within ovarian follicles is not fully understood. Hemoglobin is abundant within the in vivo matured oocyte, indicating potential function as an oxygen regulator. However, hemoglobin is significantly reduced following in vitro maturation (IVM). The molecule 2,3-bisphosphoglycerate (2,3-BPG) is essential in red blood cells, facilitating release of oxygen from hemoglobin. Towards understanding the role of 2,3-BPG in the oocyte, we characterized gene expression and protein
