Abstract:
Ca2+ does not promote crosslinking of proteins nor stimulate proteolysis in goat and sheep erythrocyte membranes. Neither crosslinking nor proteolysis was observed even when the goat erythrocytes were loaded with calcium with the help of calcium ionophore A23187. Membrane-free human erythrocyte hemolysate, however, induced Ca2+-dependent crosslinking in goat erythrocyte membranes.
