Symbol: Xkr8
Full name: X-linked Kx blood group related 8
Gene type: protein coding
RefSeq status: PROVISIONAL
Organism: Mus musculus
Also known as: 4931440N07Rik; Gm1031; XRG8; mXkr8
Summary: Enables phospholipid scramblase activity. Involved in engulfment of apoptotic cell; neutrophil clearance; and phosphatidylserine exposure on apoptotic cell surface. Acts upstream of or within establishment of localization in cell; positive regulation of myoblast differentiation; and tolerance induction to self antigen. Is active in plasma membrane. Orthologous to human XKR8 (XK related 8). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
