Summary

It is shown that the expression and net content of Prx2 are markedly increased in RBCs from two mouse models of β-thalassemia and that the amount of Prx2 bound to the membrane is markedly reduced in β-thal mouse RBCs, indicating a new factor that could contribute to the oxidative damage characterizing the pathology.
