A Comprehensive Review of Our Current Understanding of Red Blood Cell (RBC) Glycoproteins
Membranes, 2017 Human red blood cells (RBC), which are the cells most commonly used in the study of biological membranes, have some glycoproteins in their cell membrane. These membrane proteins are band 3 and glycophorins A–D, and some substoichiometric glycoproteins (e.

A novel locus of resistance to severe malaria in a region of ancient balancing selection. [PDF]
, 2015 The high prevalence of sickle haemoglobin in Africa shows that malaria has been a major force for human evolutionary selection, but surprisingly few other polymorphisms have been proven to confer resistance to malaria in large epidemiological studies. To

Alteration of the genes for glycophorin A and B in glycophorin‐A‐deficient individuals [PDF]
European Journal of Biochemistry, 1988 Glycophorins A and B are homologous glycoproteins of the red cell membrane which carry the blood‐group MN and Ss antigens, respectively, and are encoded by two distinct genes closely linked on chromosome 4, which are probably derived from each other by duplication during evolution.The lack of glycophorin A is associated with the rare phenotype En(a ...

Mechanisms tagging senescent red blood cells for clearance in healthy humans
Frontiers in Physiology, 2013 This review focuses on the analysis and evaluation of the diverse senescence markers suggested to prime red blood cells (RBC) for clearance in humans. These tags develop in the course of biochemical and structural alterations accompanying RBC aging, as ...
