PROTEINS OF RED BLOOD CELLS. MINIREVIEW
In the mini-review the information about the main results of the study of red blood cell proteins was presented. It was discussed the structure and function of protein 4.1.R complex and 3 band complex, results of protein - transporters examination, including the role of aquaporin 1 in the transport of carbon dioxide. The concept about mechanisms of Gárdos effect in red blood cells was discussed. The fi ndings concerning to an interactome of cytosolic proteins in erythrocytes were presented. The issues of development of oxidative stress in red blood cells, including the role of protein peroxiredoxin 2 were discussed. The participation of hemoglobin in mechanisms of red blood cell aging was shown.
