Cover Story: The red blood cell membrane is a highly specialized structure where transmembrane proteins and cytoskeletal components form dynamic multiprotein complexes. Central to this architecture is Anion Exchanger 1 (known as Band 3 protein), which associates with glycophorins, ankyrin, and spectrin to ensure membrane stability, mechanical resilience, and flexibility during blood circulation. The figure illustrates the distinct anchoring modes of Band 3, within the actin junctional complex, the ankyrin complex, or as mobile Band 3, highlighting the molecular interplay that underlies erythrocyte deformability and survival. View this paper
