Studies on calcium transport and calcium-dependent adenosine triphosphatase activity of erythrocyte membranes in hereditary spherocytosis. 1976

S S Zail, and A K van den Hoek

Evidence has been recently presented of a relative deficiency of Ca2+ - dependent adenosine triphosphatase activity of erythrocyte membranes obtained from patients with hereditary spherocytosis. We have sought to confirm these findings by measuring calcium efflux from intact erythrocytes of patients with hereditary spherocytosis, as well as erythrocyte calcium concentrations, but find both these parameters to be normal. Ca2+-dependent adenosine triphosphatase activity, as well as Ca2+ -dependent membrane phosphorylation was also not found to be deficient in erythrocyte membranes from subjects with hereditary spherocytosis. These studies do not support the postulate that an accumulation of calcium affects the deformability of erythrocytes and their subsequent destruction in the spleen.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D010761 Phosphorus Radioisotopes Unstable isotopes of phosphorus that decay or disintegrate emitting radiation. P atoms with atomic weights 28-34 except 31 are radioactive phosphorus isotopes. Radioisotopes, Phosphorus
D002118 Calcium A basic element found in nearly all tissues. It is a member of the alkaline earth family of metals with the atomic symbol Ca, atomic number 20, and atomic weight 40. Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body and combines with phosphorus to form calcium phosphate in the bones and teeth. It is essential for the normal functioning of nerves and muscles and plays a role in blood coagulation (as factor IV) and in many enzymatic processes.
