Anti-ERMAP

The protein encoded by this gene is a cell surface transmembrane protein that may act as an erythroid cell receptor, possibly as a mediator of cell adhesion. Polymorphisms in this gene are responsible for the Scianna/Radin blood group system. Two transcript variants encoding the same protein have been found for this gene. Protein function: Possible role as a cell-adhesion or receptor molecule of erythroid cells. [The UniProt Consortium]
