Kel

Predicted to enable metalloendopeptidase activity. Predicted to be involved in protein processing. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including intracellular monoatomic cation homeostasis; regulation of axon diameter; and skeletal muscle fiber development. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including Golgi apparatus; cytosol; and nucleoplasm. Predicted to be active in plasma membrane. Orthologous to human KEL (Kell metallo-endopeptidase (Kell blood group)). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in rat Kel often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
