Phosphatidylserine as Red Cell Eryptosis Marker Consolidating Phagocytotic Clearance
Written by Hisham Ali Waggiallah   Published On Issue 2 Vol 11, 2020
Erythrocyte damage such as osmotic shock, oxidative stress, or energy depletion promotes the generation of prostaglandin E2 by activating cyclooxygenase, which triggers a permeable Ca+2 cation channel. Ca+2 further promotes the transfer of Phosphatidylserine from the cell membrane inside to the outer by a scramblase. Macrophages recognize phosphatidylserine at the surface of the erythrocyte which engulfs and degrade the affected cells. Also, the revealing phosphatidylserine red cell may bind to
