Abstract excerpt
The molecular basis of different Kell blood group phenotypes is reviewed. Sequence analysis of the Kell gene (KEL) established that single base substitutions, resulting in amino acid changes, are responsible for the different phenotypes. Most of the amino acid substitutions, with the exception of the one responsible for expression of KEL6 (Jsa), occur at the amino-terminal half of the protein, a domain that has...
