 | | The oligomeric state of human Band 3 (Mr = 95,000), the erythrocyte membrane anion exchanger, was examined by size exclusion high performance liquid chromatography in solutions containing the nonionic detergent C12E8 (octaethylene glycol n-dodecyl monoether). |
 | | Band 3 was heterogeneous with respect to oligomeric composition, the predominant (70%) species being a dimer that bound 0.57 mg of C12E8/mg of protein (Stokes radius = 78 A, s20,w = 6.9 S). |
 | | Variable amounts of larger oligomers were also present; however, no evidence for equilibration between oligomeric species was observed in detergent solution. |
