Abstract
⺠We studied the phosphatidylserine (PS) distribution during RBC maturation and aging.⺠Blood, bone marrow and cultured human and murine erythroid cells were studied. ⺠PS externalization/shedding decreased during maturation but increased during aging. ⺠PS externalization and shedding were regulated by changes in the cellular Ca flux. ⺠We suggest that this redistribution plays a role in RBC maturation and senescence.
