Background
This gene encodes a protein that contains a mono-ADP-ribosylation (ART) motif. It is a member of the ADP-ribosyltransferase gene family but enzymatic activity has not been demonstrated experimentally. Antigens of the Dombrock blood group system are located on the gene product, which is glycosylphosphatidylinosotol-anchored to the erythrocyte membrane. Allelic variants, some of which lead to adverse transfusion reactions, are known. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008],catalytic activity:NAD(+) + protein-L-arginine = nicotinamide + N(omega)-(ADP-D-ribosyl)-protein-L-arginine.,catalytic activity:NADP(+) + protein-L-arginine = nicotinamide + N(omega)-((2'-phospho-ADP)-D-ribosyl)-protein-L-arginine.,online information:Blood group antigen gene mutation database,polymorphism:DO is responsible for the Dombrock blood group system. The molecular basis of the Do(a)/Do(b) blood group antigen is a single variation in position 265; Asn-265 corresponds to Do(a) and Asp-265 to Do(b). It is also responsible for the antigens Gregory [Gy(a)], Holley [Hy] and Joseph [Jo(a)].,similarity:Belongs to the Arg-specific ADP-ribosyltransferase family.,tissue specificity:Expressed in spleen and T-cells.,
