Function | Zinc endopeptidase with endothelin-3-converting enzyme activity. Cleaves EDN1, EDN2 and EDN3, with a marked preference for EDN3. |
Cellular Location | Cell membrane; Single-pass type II membrane protein. Note=Spans the erythrocyte membrane, and is attached to the underlying cytoskeleton |
Tissue Location | Expressed at high levels in erythrocytes and testis (in Sertoli cells), and, at lower levels, in skeletal muscle, tonsils (in follicular dendritic cells), lymph node, spleen and appendix (at protein level). Also expressed in many adult and fetal nonerythroid tissues, including brain, spleen, lymph nodes and bone marrow |

Background
This 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.
