About This Section

EntrezGene summary for KEL:
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. [provided by RefSeq]

UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot: KELL_HUMAN, P23276
Function: Zinc endopeptidase with endothelin-3-converting enzyme activity
