(16) The co-transport of spectrin, actin, and calmodulin with cytomembranes undergoing rapid saltations departs from reported results of radioactive labeling experiments insofar as spectrin, actin, and calmodulin are not normally associated with rapidly transported membrane components in the latter studies.
