Erythrocyte membrane lipid remodeling in high-altitude polycythemia and after therapeutic erythrocytapheresis [PDF]
Journal of Lipid ResearchHigh-altitude polycythemia (HAPC) remains prevalent among Tibetans despite genetic adaptations, including EPAS1/HIF2A. Excessive erythrocytosis elevates blood viscosity and increases cardiopulmonary risk, yet erythrocyte metabolic and membrane-lipid ...

Functional characterisation of the lipid raft protein stomatin [PDF]
, 2005 The function of the integral membrane protein stomatin is as yet poorly understood. Stomatin is deficient from the erythrocyte membrane of patients suffering with Overhydrated Hereditary Stomatocytosis (OHSt).

Single particle electron microscopy analysis of the bovine anion exchanger 1 reveals a flexible linker connecting the cytoplasmic and membrane domains. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 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 ...

Rheological Abnormalities in Human Erythrocytes Subjected to Oxidative Inflammation
Frontiers in Physiology, 2022 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.
