L’integrità funzionale dei globuli rossi dipende in particolar modo dalla permeabilità della loro membrana. Essi sono in grado di mantenere costante il volume cellulare e i gradienti ionici a cavallo della membrana plasmatica e di rispondere a particolari stimoli con variazioni della sua permeabilità. Trasporti attivi e passivi sono alla base dei flussi transmembranari. (Fig 1)
