News About Colton_antigen_system

20-September-2008 09:55:52 - Colton antigen system The Colton antigen system Co is present on the membranes of red blood cells and in the tubules of the kidney1 and helps determine a person's blood type. The Co antigen is found on a protein called aquaporin-1 which is responsible for water homeostasis and urine concentration.2 The Co antigen is important in transfusion medicine. 99.8% of people possess the Coa allele. Individuals with Cob allele or who are missing the Colton antigen are at risk for a transfusion reaction such as hemolytic anemia or alloimmunization. Antibodies against the Colton antigen may also cause hemolytic disease of the newborn, in which a pregnant woman's body creates antibodies against the blood of her fetus, leading to destruction of the fetal blood cells.3 References Online 'Mendelian Inheritance in Man' OMIM 110450 OMIM entry for the Colton antigen ^ Denker BM, Smith BL, Kuhajda FP, Agre P.
