Anti-CD241

The protein encoded by this gene is erythrocyte-specific and is thought to be part of a membrane channel that transports ammonium and carbon dioxide across the blood cell membrane. The encoded protein appears to interact with Rh blood group antigens and Rh30 polypeptides. Defects in this gene are a cause of regulator type Rh-null hemolytic anemia (RHN), or Rh-deficiency syndrome.[provided by RefSeq, Mar 2009], Protein function: Component of the ankyrin-1 complex, a multiprotein complex involved in the stability and shape of the erythrocyte membrane (PubMed:35835865). Heterotrimer with RHCE (RHAG)2(RHCE), that transports ammonium and its related derivative methylammonium, in both neutral and ionic forms, across the erythrocyte membrane (PubMed:11861637, PubMed:11062476, PubMed:15856280, PubMed:19273840, PubMed:21849667, PubMed:22012326, PubMed:24077989, PubMed:15572441, PubMed:26354748). The transport of NH4(+) is electrogenic and masks the NH3 transport (PubMed:26354748). Also, may act as a CO2 channel (PubMed:19273840, PubMed:17712059, PubMed:24077989). In vitro, leaks monovalent cations (PubMed:18931342, PubMed:21849667). Moreover in erythrocyte, regulates RHD membrane expression (PubMed:12130520) and is associated with rhesus blood group antigen expression (PubMed:19744193, PubMed:12130520).
