KEL

Gene Information
  • Official Symbol: KEL
  • Official Name: Kell metallo-endopeptidase (Kell blood group)
  • Aliases and Previous Symbols: N/A
  • Entrez ID: 3792
  • UniProt: P23276
  • Interactions: BioGRID
  • PubMed articles: Open PubMed
  • OMIM: Open OMIM
Function Summary
  • Entrez Summary: 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, Jul 2008].
  • UniProt Summary: Zinc endopeptidase with endothelin-3-converting enzyme activity. Cleaves EDN1, EDN2 and EDN3, with a marked preference for EDN3. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10438732}.
