ATP Metabolism in Mammalian Red Blood Cells

摘要: The pioneering work by Harris (1941) and Danowski showed that glucose was indispensable for K uptake erythrocytes, thereby setting the stage establishment of connection between metabolism active cation transport (Whittam Ager 1965). Nearly 3 decades later, another metabolic link to a cellular function has been demonstrated. epoch-making discovery reported independently simultaneously Chanutin Curnish (1967) Benesch laid foundation close relationship oxygen affinity hemoglobin. Comparative developmental studies have continued unravel fascinating evolutionary selection wide variety metabolites now known influence This interesting topic will be discussed other speakers in this symposium. In paper, we examine ATP red cells three mammalian species from comparative point view.
