Also known as ECE3CD238
Summary
KEL (Kell metallo-endopeptidase (Kell blood group), HGNC:6308) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 7q34, encoding Kell blood group glycoprotein (P23276). Zinc endopeptidase with endothelin-3-converting enzyme activity.
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.
