Chapter 9, Problem 4BMW
Summary Introduction
Reticulocytes are the naïve RBCs produced in the bone marrow and generally comprising about 1% of RBCs. They usually circulate in the blood for about a day before becoming as matured RBCs. They lack the nucleus, composed of mesh-like (reticular) network of ribosomal RNA, hence the name reticulocytes. Unlike other cell types, reticulocytes contain all the components of protein machinery except the nucleus, making them an important tool to study protein translation for researchers.
