OMIA:000117-9899 : Blood group system A in Ammotragus lervia (aoudad)

In other species: chicken , turkey , pig , taurine cattle , goat , mouflon , sheep

Categories: Haematopoietic system phene

Single-gene trait/disorder: unknown

Disease-related: no

Cross-species summary: Each blood group system consists of a set of blood types, each of which corresponds to a particular antigen (usually a glycoprotein) on the surface of red blood cells. The different types within a system are the result of the action of different alleles at a locus that usually encodes an enzyme that catalyses the creation of the feature of the glycoprotein unique to that type, e.g. the presence of a particular sugar at the end of a short chain of sugars.
