OMIA:000122 : Blood group system D |
Categories: Haematopoietic system phene
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.
Species in which this phene is found:
chicken (Gallus gallus)
horse (Equus caballus)
pig (Sus scrofa)
aoudad (Ammotragus lervia)
goat (Capra hircus)
mouflon (Ovis aries musimon)
