| Description : |
Kel islinked through a single disulfide bond to XK, a putative membranetransporter. The two proteins constitute the Kel bloodgroup antigens. Kel is a zinc endopeptidase of the neprilysin(NEP) family which also includes endothelin converting enzymes (ECE-1 and ECE-2),PEX, XCE, DINE and several NEP-like proteins. It has been shown to cleave bigendothelin-3 (ET-3) at Trp21-Ile22, yielding ET-3, and to a much lesserextent, big ET-1 and big ET-2 at Trp21-Val22, yielding ET-1 and ET-2. Severaldifferent molecular defects cause the Kel null phenotype,which has no obvious clinical outcome. |
