An overview about erythrocyte membrane [PDF]
© 2010 – IOS Press and the authors. All rights reservedIn the sixties and seventies, erythrocytes or red blood cells (RBCs) were extensively studied. Much has been learnt particularly concerning their metabolism and gas transporter function. In the past

Distribution of malaria parasite-derived phosphatidylcholine in the infected erythrocyte
Malaria parasites modify their host erythrocyte in multiple ways, leading to changes in the deformability, adhesiveness, and permeability of the host erythrocyte.

Single particle electron microscopy analysis of the bovine anion exchanger 1 reveals a flexible linker connecting the cytoplasmic and membrane domains. [PDF]
Anion exchanger 1 (AE1) is the major erythrocyte membrane protein that mediates chloride/bicarbonate exchange across the erythrocyte membrane facilitating CO₂ transport by the blood, and anchors the plasma membrane to the spectrin-based cytoskeleton ...

Beneficial impact of human placenta extracts on erythrocyte membrane thermostability [PDF]
PURPOSE: To study the influence of human placenta extract (HPE) and its individual fractions on the thermal stability of human erythrocyte membrane. METHODS: HPE fractions were isolated by gel chromatography. Thermal hemolysis of erythrocytes, exposed to

Rheological Abnormalities in Human Erythrocytes Subjected to Oxidative Inflammation
Erythrocytes are oxygen carriers and exposed to redox cycle in oxygenation and deoxygenation of hemoglobin. This indicates that circulating erythrocytes are vulnerable to the oxidative injury occurring under the imbalance of redox homeostasis.

Interactions Between Aerolysin, Erythrocytes, and Erythrocyte Membranes [PDF]
Aerolysin, a hemolytic and lethal exotoxin of Aeromonas hydrophila , was analyzed for amino acids. Assuming 8 histidine residues/mol, the purified toxic protein has, by summation, a molecular weight of 49,000, a value in agreement with earlier estimates by other methods.

Interaction of Catechins with Human Erythrocytes
The aim of this study was to characterize the interaction of chosen catechins ((+)-catechin, (−)-epigallocatechin (EGC), and (−)-epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG)) with human erythrocytes and their protective effects against oxidative damage of

Plasmodium falciparum Erythrocyte Membrane Protein 3 (PfEMP3) Destabilizes Erythrocyte Membrane Skeleton [PDF]
Plasmodium falciparum erythrocyte membrane protein 3 (PfEMP3) is a parasite-derived protein that appears on the cytoplasmic surface of the host cell membrane in the later stages of the parasite's development where it associates with membrane skeleton.
