Short description: Protein-coding gene in the species Homo sapiens

XK (also known as Kell blood group precursor) is a protein found on human red blood cells and other tissues which is responsible for the Kx antigen which helps determine a person's blood type.

Clinical significance

The Kx antigen plays a role in matching blood for blood transfusions.^{[citation needed]}

Mutation of XK protein may lead to McLeod syndrome,^[1] a multi-system disorder characterized by hemolytic anemia, myopathy, acanthocytosis, and chorea.^[2]

XK is located on the X chromosome (cytogenetic band Xp21.1) and absence of the XK protein is an X-linked disease.^[3]

Function

XK is a membrane transport protein of unknown action.^[4]
