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