Summary For survival, phosphatidylserine surface exposure is prevented by cholesterol-mediated suppression of PLSCR1 under low Ca concentrations, irrespective of flipping by ATP11C. In senescent erythrocytes, PLSCR1 is activated by elevated Ca, resulting in phosphatidylserine exposure, allowing macrophage phagocytosis. These recent molecular findings establish the importance of the maintenance and regulation of phosphatidylserine distribution for both the survival and death of human erythrocytes.
