red′ blood′ cell` n. any of the cells of the blood that in mammals are enucleate disks concave on both sides, contain hemoglobin, and carry oxygen to the cells and tissues and carbon dioxide back to the respiratory organs. Also callederythrocyte,red′ blood′ cor`puscle.Abbr.:RBC ...
Red blood cells contain a pathway for the degradation of oxidant-damaged hemoglobin that does not require ATP or ubiquitin. J Biol Chem. 1986 May 5; 261 (13):5705–5713. [ PubMed ]Fagan JM, Waxman L, Goldberg AL. Red blood cells contain a pathway for the degradation of oxidant-damaged...
This allows the cells to contain more hemoglobin that is involved in the transportation of oxygen molecules. Unlike the other cells in the body, red blood cells are made up of pigments known and hemoglobin (composed of 4 hemes (which gives erythrocytes the red color) and a globin protein)....
题目The term "hemoglobin" refers to: A type of protein found in red blood cells. B. The oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood. C. A hormone that regulates blood sugar. D. A component of the blood that helps in clotting. 相关知识点: ...
2. Red blood cells produce a protein called hemoglobin, which helps them carry out their primary function—transporting oxygen from the lungs to the body’s tissues. Hemoglobin is the protein that makes it possible for red blood cells to carry oxygen. Each molecule of hemoglobin is made up of...
What is the role of hemoglobin in red blood cells? Why do red blood cells contain iron? Explain. Why don't red blood cells have MHC1? Why are red blood cells considered cells? Why don't red blood cells have a nucleus? Why is a red blood cell considered a cell?
Red blood cells have a cell membrane and contain a special protein called hemoglobin that can bind to oxygen. Unlike most other cells, however, they do not contain a nucleus. Do red blood cells fight infection? No, red blood cells do not fight infection. The blood cells that fight infectio...
red blood cells that are in flow. We show that MZ B cells use adhesion G-protein-coupled receptor ADGRE5 (CD97) for retention in the spleen. CD97 function in MZ B cells depends on its ability to undergo autoproteolytic cleavage and signaling via Gα13and ARHGEF1. Red blood cell ...
The hexagon corners contain oligomeric actin together with proteins 4.1 and adducin, which bind to both spectrin and actin, thereby facilitating contact between the two proteins, and protein 4.9.10The hexagon arms are composed of fibers of spectrin tetramers (SpT) and, occasionally, double-stranded...
across the red blood cell's plasma membrane more readily. Red blood cells contain enormous amounts of aproteincalled hemoglobin. This iron-containing molecule binds oxygen as oxygen molecules enter blood vessels in the lungs. Hemoglobin is also responsible for the characteristic red color of blood....
