The rapid movement of phospholipids (PL) between plasma membrane leaflets in response
to increased intracellular Ca 2+ is thought to play a key role in expression of platelet
procoagulant activity and in clearance of injured or apoptotic cells. We recently reported
isolation of a∼ 37-kDa protein in erythrocyte membrane that mediates Ca 2+-dependent
movement of PL between membrane leaflets, similar to that observed upon elevation of Ca
2+ in the cytosol (Bassé, F., Stout, JG, Sims, PJ, and Wiedmer, T.(1996) J. Biol. Chem. 271 …
