Fold change in phosphorylation for peptides as a function of NO loading of SSRBCs before epinephrine treatment are presented. Phosphorylation of all membrane proteins presented in the table was upregulated by NO loading of SSRBCs before epinephrine treatment. Phosphorylation sites are indicated by “*”. Data were generated by using blood samples from 4 different patients with SCD or 4 healthy donors.
