Abstract excerpt
The Kidd (JK) blood group is carried by an integral membrane glycoprotein which transports urea through the red cell membrane and is also present on endothelial cells of the vasa recta in the kidney. The exon-intron structure of the human blood group Kidd/urea transporter gene has been determined...
