1.A.11.4.3
Rhesus (Rh) complex (tetramer: RhAG2, RhCE1, RhD1) of 409 aas and 12 TMSs. Exports ammonia from human red blood cells (Conroy et al., 2005). RhAG is also called RH50.  RhAG variants (I61R, F65S), associated with overhydrated hereditary stomatocytosis (OHSt), a disease affecting erythrocytes, are alterred for bidirectional ammonium transport (Deschuyteneer et al. 2013).  The system transports ammonia, methylammonia, ethylammonia, fluoroethylamine and CO2 Michenkova et al. 2021.  19F-fluoroethylamine has been used to study rapid transport as its NMR spectra are different inside and outside of human red blook cells (Szekely et al. 2006).
