Medical Definition of MN blood group antigens

1. A pair of blood group antigens governed by genes that segregate independently of the ABO locus. The alleles are codominant and there are three types MM, NN and MN. Glycophorin has M or N activity and this is associated with oligosaccharides attached to the amino terminal portion of the molecule. M type glycophorin differs from N type in amino acid residues 1 and 5, although the antigenic determinants are associated with the carbohydrate side chains.
