Rabbit Anti-XKR1/FITC Conjugated antibody
background:
XK is the Kell blood group 'precursor substance'. This protein has structural characteristics of prokaryotic and eukaryotic membrane transport proteins. The Kell blood group is constituted by two covalently linked antigens at the surface of red blood cells, Kell and KX. Whereas Kell is a metalloprotease with demonstrated in vitro enzymatic activity, the role of KX thereon, and/or alone, remains unknown, although its absence is linked to the McLeod syndrome, a neuroacanthocytosis. KX appears to be required for proper synthesis or presentation of the Kell antigens on the red blood cell surface.
Function:
May be involved in sodium-dependent transport of neutral amino acids or oligopeptides
Subunit:
Heterodimer with Kell; disulfide-linked.
Subcellular Location:
Membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein (Potential).
Tissue Specificity:
High levels in skeletal muscle, heart, brain,
DISEASE:
Defects in XK are the cause of McLeod syndrome (MLS) [MIM:300842]. It is an X-linked multisystem disorder characterized by late onset abnormalities in the neuromuscular and hematopoietic systems.
Similarity:
Belongs to the XK family.
