General annotation (Comments)

Function

Zinc endopeptidase with endothelin-3-converting enzyme activity.

Cofactor

Binds 1 zinc ion per subunit By similarity.

Subunit structure

Heterodimer with XK; disulfide-linked. Ref.7

Subcellular location

Cell membrane; Single-pass type II membrane protein. Note: Spans the erythrocyte membrane, and is attached to the underlying cytoskeleton.

Polymorphism

KEL is responsible for the Kell blood group system. The molecular basis of the K=KEL1/k=KEL2 blood group antigens is a single variation in position 193; Thr-193 corresponds to KEL2 and Met-193 to KEL1. The molecular basis of the Kpa=KEL3/Kpb=KEL4/Kpc=KEL21 blood group antigens is a single variation in position 281; Arg-281 corresponds to KEL4, Trp-281 to KEL3 and Gln-281 to KEL21. The molecular basis of the Jsa=KEL6/Jsb=KEL7 blood group antigens is a single variation in position 597; Leu-597 corresponds to KEL7 and Pro-597 to KEL6. The molecular basis of the KEL11/KEL17 blood group antigens is a single variation in position 302; Val-302 corresponds to KEL11 and Ala-302 to KEL17. The molecular basis of the KEL14/KEL24 blood group antigens is a single variation in position 180; Arg-180 corresponds to KEL14 and Pro-180 to KEL24.

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the peptidase M13 family.
