XK X-linked Kx blood group antigen, Kell and VPS13A binding protein [ Homo sapiens (human) ]
Source: NCBI Gene (ID 7504)
Source: NCBI Gene (ID 7504)
Symbol: XK
Full name: X-linked Kx blood group antigen, Kell and VPS13A binding protein
Gene type: protein coding
RefSeq status: REVIEWED
Organism: Homo sapiens
Also known as: KX; NA; NAC; X1k; XKR1
Summary: This locus controls the synthesis of the Kell blood group 'precursor substance' (Kx). Mutations in this gene have been associated with McLeod syndrome, an X-linked, recessive disorder characterized by abnormalities in the neuromuscular and hematopoietic systems. The encoded protein has structural characteristics of prokaryotic and eukaryotic membrane transport proteins. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
