Protein family
A protein family is a group of evolutionarily-related proteins, and is often nearly synonymous with gene family. The term protein family should not be confused with family as it is used in taxonomy....
which transport ammonium ions across the cell membrane
Cell membrane
The cell membrane or plasma membrane is a biological membrane that separates the interior of all cells from the outside environment. The cell membrane is selectively permeable to ions and organic molecules and controls the movement of substances in and out of cells. It basically protects the cell...

RHAGRHAG
Rh-associated glycoprotein 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....

RHCE (gene)
Blood group Rh polypeptide is a protein that in humans is encoded by the RHCE gene. RHCE has also recently been designated CD240CE ....
, RHCG
RHCG
Rh family, C glycoprotein, also known as RHCG, is a protein which in humans is encoded by the RHCG gene.- Function :RHCG plays a critical role in ammonium handling and pH homeostasis in the kidney. The structure of the RHCG protein indicates that it has a hydrophobic ammonia-conducting channel thus...
