function:This protein is a minor sialoglycoprotein in human erythrocyte membranes. The blood group Gerbich antigens and receptors for Plasmodium falciparum merozoites are most likely located within the extracellular domain. Glycophorin C plays an important role in regulating the stability of red cells.,online information:Blood group antigen gene mutation database,online information:Glycophorin C entry,polymorphism:GYPC is responsible for the Gerbich blood group system.,subcellular location:Linked to the membrane via Band 4.1.,tissue specificity:Glycophorin C is expressed in erythrocytes. Glycophorin D is ubiquitous.,
Cell membrane; Single-pass type III membrane protein. Linked to the membrane via band 4.1.
Glycophorin-C is expressed in erythrocytes. Glycophorin-D and IsoGPC are ubiquitously expressed.
