Rh family, B glycoprotein, also known as RHBG, is an ammonia transporter protein which in humans is encoded by the RHBG gene. [5] [6]
RHBG and RHCG are non-erythroid members of the Rhesus (Rh) protein family that are mainly expressed in the kidney and belong to the methylammonium-ammonium permease/ammonia transporters superfamily. Rh family proteins are all predicted to be transmembrane proteins with 12 membrane spanning domains and intracytoplasmic N- and C-termini. [5]
Neutral and basic amino acid transport protein rBAT is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SLC3A1 gene.
Nucleoporin 153 (Nup153) is a protein which in humans is encoded by the NUP153 gene. It is an essential component of the basket of nuclear pore complexes (NPCs) in vertebrates, and required for the anchoring of NPCs. It also acts as the docking site of an importing karyopherin. On the cytoplasmic side of the NPC, Nup358 fulfills an analogous role.
Chloride intracellular channel protein 1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CLIC1 gene.
Rh-associated glycoprotein (RHAG) is an ammonia transporter protein that in humans is encoded by the RHAG gene. RHAG has also recently been designated CD241. Mutations in the RHAG gene can cause stomatocytosis.
Guanine nucleotide-binding protein G(I)/G(S)/G(O) subunit gamma-2 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the GNG2 gene.
Basal cell adhesion molecule, also known as Lutheran antigen, is a plasma membrane glycoprotein that in humans is encoded by the BCAM gene. BCAM has also recently been designated CD239.
High affinity copper uptake protein 1 (CTR1) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SLC31A1 gene.
Microfibrillar-associated protein 2 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the MFAP2 gene.
Urea transporter 1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SLC14A1 gene.
ATP-binding cassette sub-family B member 9 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ABCB9 gene.
Rh family, C glycoprotein, also known as RHCG, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the RHCG gene.
Elastin microfibril interfacer 1 (EMILIN-1) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the EMILIN1 gene. It is the best characterized member of the EMILIN family of extracellular matrix glycoproteins.
Large neutral amino acids transporter small subunit 2 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SLC7A8 gene.
Solute carrier organic anion transporter family member 1A2 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SLCO1A2 gene.
Conserved oligomeric Golgi complex subunit 5 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the COG5 gene.
Zinc transporter ZIP2 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SLC39A2 gene.
Organic solute transporter alpha, also known as OST-alpha, is a protein which in humans is encoded by the SLC51A gene.
Organic solute transporter beta, also known as OST-beta, is a protein which in humans is encoded by the OSTB gene.
Ankyrin-3 (ANK-3), also known as ankyrin-G, is a protein from ankyrin family that in humans is encoded by the ANK3 gene.
Ammonia transporters are structurally related membrane transport proteins called Amt proteins in bacteria and plants, methylammonium/ammonium permeases (MEPs) in yeast, or Rhesus (Rh) proteins in chordates. In humans, the RhAG, RhBG, and RhCG Rhesus proteins constitute solute carrier family 42 whilst RhD and RhCE form the Rh blood group system. The three-dimensional structure of the ammonia transport protein AmtB from Escherichia coli has been determined by x-ray crystallography revealing a hydrophobic ammonia channel. The human RhCG ammonia transporter was found to have a similar ammonia-conducting channel structure. It was proposed that the erythrocyte Rh complex is a heterotrimer of RhAG, RhD, and RhCE subunits in which RhD and RhCE might play roles in anchoring the ammonia-conducting RhAG subunit to the cytoskeleton. Based on reconstitution experiments, purified RhCG subunits alone can function to transport ammonia. RhCG is required for normal acid excretion by the mouse kidney and epididymis.
