Glycophorin C (GYPC) is an integral membrane glycoprotein. It is a minor species carried by human erythrocytes, butplays an important role in regulating the mechanical stability of red cells. A number of glycophorin C mutations havebeen described. The Gerbich and Yus phenotypes are due to deletion of exon 3 and 2, respectively. The Webb and Duchantigens, also known as glycophorin D, result from single point mutations of the glycophorin C gene. The glycophorin Cprotein has very little homology with glycophorins A and B.
