Anion transport across the red blood cell membrane and the protein in band 3.

The paper reviews existing evidence for the participation of the protein in band 3 (nomenclature of Steck, [1]) in anion transport across the red cell membrane and discusses the possible role of common binding sites on band 3 for 1-fluoro-2,4-dinitrobenzene, 2-(4'-aminophenyl)-6-methylbenzenethiazol-3',7-disulfonic acid and dihydro 4,4'-diisothiocyanato stilbene-2,2'-disulfonic acid in the transport process.
