Annotation score:5 out of 5

<p>The annotation score provides a heuristic measure of the annotation content of a UniProtKB entry or proteome. This score <strong>cannot</strong> be used as a measure of the accuracy of the annotation as we cannot define the ‘correct annotation’ for any given protein.<p><a href='/help/annotation_score' target='_top'>More...</a></p>-Experimental evidence at protein leveli <p>This indicates the type of evidence that supports the existence of the protein.

<p>This section provides any useful information about the protein, mostly biological knowledge.<p><a href='/help/function_section' target='_top'>More...</a></p>Functioni

Glycophorin A is the major intrinsic membrane protein of the erythrocyte. The N-terminal glycosylated segment, which lies outside the erythrocyte membrane, has MN blood group receptors. Appears to be important for the function of SLC4A1 and is required for high activity of SLC4A1. May be involved in translocation of SLC4A1 to the plasma membrane. Is a receptor for influenza virus. Is a receptor for Plasmodium falciparum erythrocyte-binding antigen 175 (EBA-175); binding of EBA-175 is dependent on sialic acid residues of the O-linked glycans. Appears to be a receptor for Hepatitis A virus (HAV).6 Publications

Miscellaneous

Involved in several unequal homologous recombinations or gene conversion events, predominantly with GYPB and more rarely with GYPE. The resulting fusion proteins are observed in different phenotypes and encode low incidence bloodgroup antigens.

The major O-linked glycan are NeuAc-alpha-2-3-Gal-beta-1-3-[NeuAc-alpha-2-6]-GalNAcOH (about 78 %) and NeuAc-alpha-2-3-Gal-beta-1-3-GalNAcOH (17 %). Minor O-glycans (5 %) include NeuAc-alpha-2-3-Gal-beta-1-3-[NeuAc-alpha-2-6]-GalNAcOH NeuAc-alpha-2-8-NeuAc-alpha-2-3-Gal-beta-1-3-GalNAcOH. About 1% of all O-linked glycans carry blood group A, B and H determinants. They derive from a type-2 precursor core structure, Gal-beta-(1,3)-GlcNAc-beta-1-R, and the antigens are synthesized by addition of fucose (H antigen-specific) and then N-acetylgalactosamine (A antigen-specific) or galactose (B antigen-specific). Specifically O-linked-glycans are NeuAc-alpha-2-3-Gal-beta-1-3-GalNAcOH-6-1-GlcNAc-beta-4-1-[Fuc-alpha-1-2]-Gal-beta-3-1-GalNAc-alpha (about 1%, B antigen-specific) and NeuAc-alpha-2-3-Gal-beta-1-3-GalNAcOH-6-1-GlcNAc-beta-4-1-[Fuc-alpha-1-2]-Gal-beta (1 %, O antigen-, A antigen- and B antigen-specific).5 Publications

Along with GYPB, GYPA is responsible for the MNS blood group system [MIMi:111300]. The molecular basis of the GPA M/N bloodgroup antigen is a variation at positions 20 and 24. Ser-20 and Gly-24 correspond to M (shown); 'Leu-20' and 'Glu-24' correspond to N.
GYPA polymorphisms are involved in resistance to malaria [MIMi:611162].
