Hereditary spherocytosis (HS) is due to different membrane protein defects (i.e., deficiency of spectrin and ankyrin, band 3, or band 4.2). In order to gain new insight into the relationships between band 3 function and proteins associated with the cytoskeleton, we studied erythrocyte anion transpor

Abstract
The K^+^‐dependent phosphatase activity from red cell membranes from different mammalian species shows a close relationship with both the rate of active potassium influx and (Na^+^ + K^+^)‐dependent ATPase activity. This finding supports the view that membrane phosphatase activity is related to the cation transport system.

Oxygen consumption was compared in confluent cultures of endothelial cells from human umbilical cord veins, rat pulmonary arteries, and bovine aortas. A microrespirometric method utilizing oxygenated hemoglobin as oxygen supply and indicator of respiration was used. Respiratory rate was equal in hum
The isolated brush border membrane of the tapeworm, Hymenolepis diminuta, hydrolyzes p-nitrophenyl phosphate over a broad pH range. Acid phosphatase activity (pH optimum at 4.0) is inhibited specifically by sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and NaF, while the alkaline phosphatase activity (pH optimum at
In the presence of NH 4 Cl and hypotonic solutions, Rana balcanica red cells respond by increasing their volume. The stimulation of cellular volume by hypotonicity is more rapid than that of NH 4 Cl, while the maximum value is less than that observed in the presence of NH 4 Cl. Depending on the caus

## Abstract Red blood cells contain a protein that activates membrane‐bound (Ca^2+^ + Mg^2+^)‐ATPase and Ca^2+^ transport. The red blood cell activator protein is similar to a modulator protein that stimulates cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase. Wang and Desai [Journal of Biological Chemistry 252:4175–41
