Background: Kell
Kell, a type II membrane glycoprotein, is linked through a single disulfide bond to XK, a putative membrane transporter. The two proteins constitute the Kell blood group antigens (1). Kell 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 (2). It has been shown to cleave big endothelin-3 (ET-3) at Trp21-Ile22, yielding ET-3, and to a much lesser extent, big ET-1 and big ET-2 at Trp21-Val22, yielding ET-1 and ET-2 (3). Several different molecular defects cause the Kell null phenotype, which has no obvious clinical outcome (4).
