| Post Translational Modifications | Glucose reacts non-enzymatically with the N-terminus of the beta chain to form a stable ketoamine linkage. This takes place slowly and continuously throughout the 120-day life span of the red blood cell. The rate of glycation is increased in patients with diabetes mellitus. S-nitrosylated.a nitric oxide group is first bound to Fe(2+) and then transferred to Cys-94 to allow capture of O(2). Acetylated on Lys-60, Lys-83 and Lys-145 upon aspirin exposure. |
| Function | Involved in oxygen transport from the lung to the various peripheral tissues. LVV-hemorphin-7 potentiates the activity of bradykinin, causing a decrease in blood pressure. Spinorphin: Functions as an endogenous inhibitor of enkephalin-degrading enzymes such as DPP3, and as a selective antagonist of the P2RX3 receptor which is involved in pain signaling, these properties implicate it as a regulator of pain and inflammation. |
