OMIA 001237-9940 : Blood group system X in Ovis aries |
Mendelian trait/disorder:
yes
Considered a defect:
no
Key variant known:
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.
Species-specific symbol:
X
Species-specific description:
This locus has at least 2 alleles.
