Abstract excerpt
Blood group polymorphisms have been used as tools to study the architecture of the red blood cell (RBC) membrane. Some blood group variants have reduced antigen expression at the cell surface. Understanding the underlying mechanism for this reduced expression can potentially provide structural information and help to elucidate protein trafficking pathways of membrane proteins. The Kp(a+) phenotype is a variant in...
