Anion transport was measured indirectly by recording changes in extracellular medium pH. Change in pH is known to occur as a result of Cl-/HSO4- exchange by means of anion exchanger: band 3 protein. The constant of the rate of hydrogen ions entering K2 has been calculated in the work. Both n-butanol and n-hexanol reduce the constant of the rate of hydrogen ion entering in red cells of all studied species, which testifies to slowing down the HSO4- transport into a cell in n-alkanol presence. Thus, both n-butanol and n-hexanol may be assumed to interact with band 3 protein in red cells by changing their functional state. ER -
