01
Overview
Glycophorin E is a presumed pseudogene member of the glycophorin family located on chromosome 4 and closely related to Glycophorin A and B. While the gene is transcribed, the corresponding protein is generally not detected in red blood cells and is not considered functionally significant. GYPE is notable for its role in the evolution and structural diversity of the MNS blood group gene cluster. Rearrangements involving GYPE, GYPA, and GYPB generate hybrid alleles, which can result in rare blood group phenotypes and have implications for transfusion medicine. However, unlike its relatives Glycophorin A and B, Glycophorin E is not a functional membrane protein, receptor, or drug target in humans[1][3][2][5][4].

Biological functions
Other (No known direct biological function; presumed pseudogene)
03
Disease associations
Other (Variants and structural rearrangements involving GYPE can influence rare blood group phenotypes but no direct role in disease; structural variation in the region can affect antigenicity and malaria susceptibility through variant alleles)
