  The red blood cell (RBC) membrane is supported by a network of long spectrin tetramers that interconnect short tropomyosin-coated actin filaments to form a regular hexagonal lattice,the membrane skeleton,which confers mechanical stability and flexibility on RBCs during their passage through the circulation.
