Gene ID: 22439 | Gene type: protein coding

About Xk

Summary

Acts upstream of or within several processes, including cellular divalent inorganic cation homeostasis; regulation of axon diameter; and skeletal muscle fiber development. Is active in plasma membrane. Is expressed in genitourinary system; gonadal fat pad; gut; liver; and mammary gland. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in McLeod syndrome and hematopoietic system disease. Orthologous to human XK (X-linked Kx blood group). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
