Function
Component of the ankyrin-1 complex, a multiprotein complex involved in the stability and shape of the erythrocyte membrane. Mediates the primary membrane attachment site for ANK1 when associated with RHAG. May participate in the ammonium and carbon dioxide transport through the heterotrimer form (Probable).
Biological Context
Subcellular Location: Membrane (Multi-pass membrane protein)
Tissue Specificity: Restricted to tissues or cell lines expressing erythroid characters. Isoform 4g and isoform RhPI-Alpha are expressed in immature erythroblasts but not in mature erythroblasts
Disease Association: Rh-null, amorph type (RHNA) : An autosomal recessive condition characterized by red blood cells that lack all Rh antigens, have increased osmotic fragility, diminished lifespan, and show changes in morphology resulting in stomatocytosis. Rh-null individuals have mild to moderate hemolytic anemia. They are at risk of having adverse reactions in response to transfusion or pregnancy, because they may produce antibodies against several of the Rh antigens. [The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry]
