| Description: | This gene encodes proteins related to the first discoveredblood group system, ABO. Which allele is present in an individualdetermines the blood group. The 'O' blood group is caused by adeletion of guanine-258 near the N-terminus of the protein whichresults in a frameshift and translation of an almost entirelydifferent protein. Individuals with the A, B, and AB allelesexpress glycosyltransferase activities that convert the H antigeninto the A or B antigen. Other minor alleles have been found forthis gene. |
| Further Information: | This ABO antibody is generated from mice immunized with a KLH conjugated synthetic peptide between 41-68 amino acids from the N-terminal region of human ABO. |
