Band-3 protein-mediated anion conductance of the red cell membrane. Slippage vs ionic diffusion. 1983

J H Kaplan, and M Pring, and H Passow

The band 3 protein-mediated, valinomycin-induced KCl efflux continues to increase with increasing [KCl] when the Cl-/Cl- equilibrium exchange becomes saturated. This suggests the existence of a band 3-mediated component of Cl- flux that contributes to the electrical conductance without being related to slippage; i.e., equilibration of the unloaded transport protein between the two membrane surfaces.

D004058	Diffusion	The tendency of a gas or solute to pass from a point of higher pressure or concentration to a point of lower pressure or concentration and to distribute itself throughout the available space. Diffusion, especially FACILITATED DIFFUSION, is a major mechanism of BIOLOGICAL TRANSPORT.	Diffusions

D000838	Anions	Negatively charged atoms, radicals or groups of atoms which travel to the anode or positive pole during electrolysis.	Anion
D001457	Anion Exchange Protein 1, Erythrocyte	A major integral transmembrane protein of the ERYTHROCYTE MEMBRANE. It is the anion exchanger responsible for electroneutral transporting in CHLORIDE IONS in exchange of BICARBONATE IONS allowing CO2 uptake and transport from tissues to lungs by the red blood cells. Genetic mutations that result in a loss of the protein function have been associated with type 4 HEREDITARY SPHEROCYTOSIS.
