Novel role for the Lu/BCAM–spectrin interaction in actin cytoskeleton
... repeat [15]. As Lu/BCAM represents a minor component of the RBC membrane (from 1.5 to 4 copies/RBC), we have speculated that the Lu/BCAM–spectrin interaction might be critical for cell signalling rather than for maintenance of the membrane mechanical properties [12]. The adhesion properties of Lu/BC ...
