Background
The Rh blood group system is the second most clinically significant of the blood groups, second only to ABO. It is also the most polymorphic of the blood groups, with variations due to deletions, gene conversions, and missense mutations. The Rh blood group includes this gene which encodes both the RhC and RhE antigens on a single polypeptide and a second gene which encodes the RhD protein. The classification of Rh-positive and Rh-negative individuals is determined by the presence or absence of the highly immunogenic RhD protein on the surface of erythrocytes. A mutation in this gene results in amorph-type Rh-null disease. Alternative splicing of this gene results in multiple transcript variants encoding several different isoforms.

Function
function:May be part of an oligomeric complex which is likely to have a transport or channel function in the erythrocyte membrane.,online information:Blood group antigen gene mutation database,polymorphism:RhCE and RhD are responsible for the RH blood group system. The molecular basis of the E=Rh3/e=Rh5 blood group antigens is a single variation in position 226; Pro-226 corresponds to Rh3 and Ala-226 to Rh5. The molecular basis of the C=Rh2/c=Rh4 blood group antigens is a single variation in position 102; Ser-103 corresponds to Rh2 and Pro-103 to Rh4.,similarity:Belongs to the ammonium transporter (TC 2.A.49) family. Rh subfamily.,tissue specificity:Restricted to tissues or cell lines expressing erythroid characters.,
