Gene information for KEL (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID3792
Official gene symbolKEL
Full nameKell blood group, metallo-endopeptidase
Aliases,CD238,ECE3,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes a type II transmembrane glycoprotein that is the highly polymorphic Kell blood group antigen. The Kell glycoprotein links via a single disulfide bond to the XK membrane protein that carries the Kx antigen. The encoded protein contains sequence and structural similarity to members of the neprilysin (M13) family of zinc endopeptidases. [provided by RefSeq]
