Red cell membrane protein band 4.2: phenotypic, genetic and electron microscopic aspects
Y Yawata - Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA)-Protein Structure …, 1994 - Elsevier
The present status of band 4.2 has been reviewed from the standpoint of protein chemistry,
gene analysis and clinical hematology. Band 4.2 plays an important role in various cellular
functions. In 142 GCT→ ACT band 4.2 deficiency, abnormalities of the cytoskeletal network
were clearly observed by electron microscopy and by ektacytometry, although the
cytoskeletal proteins themselves were essentially normal in these red cells. The
physiological states of band 3 in situ in the membranes were also affected in band 4.2 …
