The transport protein AE1 makes up a quarter of the surface of these cells, which may contain nuclear remnants called Howell-Jolly bodies. These cells develop in reticulocytes. The spleen sequesters these cells, whose production is stimulated by EPO in bone marrow. Vertebrate examples of these cells
The transport protein AE1 makes up a quarter of the surface of these cells, which may contain nuclear remnants called Howell-Jolly bodies. These cells develop in reticulocytes. The spleen sequesters these cells, whose production is stimulated by EPO in bone marrow. Vertebrate examples of these cells lack a nucleus. They are normally shaped like biconcave disks, but they are deformed in people with sickle-cell anemia. For 10 points each, name these cells that carry hemoglobin and transport oxygen.
