title: Band 4.2 abnormalities in human red cells.
abstract: Abnormalities of membrane protein band 4.2 in human red cells are reviewed from the standpoints of clinical hematology, protein chemistry, membrane functions, and gene expression. This article will help more extensive investigations in clarifying the physiologic significance of this protein, and to understand abnormalities of band 4.2 in clinical, biochemical, biologic, and genetic aspects.
