| Type | MGI:General | Description | red cell ghosts and membrane skeletons are smaller and more spherical than normal, although intact Triton shells can be obtained and resemble red cell ghosts in size and shape the spectrin content of red blood cell membranes is approximately half of normal, the amount of SLC4A1 that is associated with the membrane skeleton is much less than normal, more of it is in the dimeric rather than tetrameric form, and it has a greater fractional mobility electron micrographs of spread membrane skeletons from red blood cells show fewer than normal ankyrin-containing globular structures but normal skeletons and Triton shells have normal mechanical stability rotary shadowing shows increased heterogeneity of intramembrane particles in red blood cell membranes |
