Title: [Structure and function of human erythrocyte membrane skeletons]. Author: Stibenz D, Linss W. Journal: Folia Haematol Int Mag Klin Morphol Blutforsch; 1989; 116(5):615-30. PubMed ID: 2481609. Abstract: On the basis of extensive studies of the literature and of own results the present knowledge about the structure of the membrane skeleton of human erythrocytes is summarized and functional and clinical aspects are described. The spectrins are the centre of interest. Their interconnections, spatial arrangement and association with other components of the membrane are explained in greater detail. With regard to the membrane skeleton questions of erythrocyte shape, membrane integrity, phospholipid asymmetry, distribution of transmembrane proteins and cell deformation are discussed.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
