Abstract excerpt

The number of the Na-K pumps on sheep red blood cells declines markedly during cell maturation. In addition, in red blood cells of the low-K+ (LK) phenotype, there is an increase during maturation in the affinity of the pumps for intracellular K+. This increase does not occur in cells of the high...
