Background Current models suggest that the spectrin cytoskeleton stabilizes interacting ion transport proteins at the plasma membrane. Using an antibody raised against DAE and a recombinant transgene expressed in Drosophila S2 cells DAE was shown to be a 136 kd plasma membrane protein. A major site of expression was found in the abdomen acid-secreting region… Continue reading Background Current models suggest that the spectrin cytoskeleton stabilizes interacting ion
