Background
This gene encodes a type II transmembrane glycoproteinthat is the highly polymorphic Kell blood group antigen. The Kellglycoprotein links via a single disulfide bond to the XK membraneprotein that carries the Kx antigen. The encoded protein containssequence and structural similarity to members of the neprilysin(M13) family of zinc endopeptidases.
