Department of Biochemistry, Defence Research and Development Establishment, Gwalior, India.

We describe the interaction of methyl isocyanate with reactive sulphydryl groups of rat erythrocyte membrane proteins. Intraperitoneal administration, as well as in vitro incubation of methyl isocyanate, caused a significant reduction in the free sulphydryl content of erythrocyte membrane proteins. [1-14C]Methyl isocyanate was specifically bound to band III of the erythrocyte membrane and caused the breakdown of band III proteins.

D000818	Animals	Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

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.
