Association of XK and Kell Blood Group Proteins

1 May 1998

Abstract excerpt

A disulfide bond links Kell and XK red cell membrane proteins. Kell, a type II membrane glycoprotein, carries over 20 blood group antigens, and XK, which spans the membrane 10 times, is lacking in rare individuals with the McLeod syndrome. Kell is classified in the neprilysin family of zinc endopeptidases, and XK has structural features that suggest it is a transport protein. Kell has 15 extracellular cysteines,...
