Xkr4 of 650 aas and 10 TMSs in a 2 + 1 + 2 + 2 + 1 + 2 TMS arrangement, suggestive of a 5 TMS repeat unit.  Xrk4 catalyzes phosphatidyl serine flipping from the inner leaflet to the outer leaflet of the cell membrane to signal appoptosis.  It has a C-terminal caspase recognition signal that may play an important role.  Xkr4, 8 and 9 have this activity and have several essential residues in TMS2 and cytoplasmic loop 2 (Suzuki et al. 2014). Xkr4 is activated by caspase-mediated cleavage and binding of the XRCC4 fragment. Zhang et al. 2023 showed that extracellular calcium is a factor needed to activate Xkr4. A constitutively active mutant of Xkr4 was found to induce phospholipid scrambling in an extracellular, but not intracellular, calcium-dependent manner. Other Xkr family members also require extracellular calcium for activation. D123 and D127 of TMS1 and E310 of TMS3 coordinate calcium binding, and the E310K mutation-mediated salt bridge between TMS1 and TMS3 bypasses the requirement for calcium. Disulfide bond formation between these two TMSs also activates phospholipid scrambling without calcium (Zhang et al. 2023).

Xkr8 (XK8, XRG8) is of 395 aas and 6 - 11 apparent TMSs based on hydropathy plots. It catalyzes phosphatidyl serine (PS) flipping from the inner leaflet to the outer leaflet of the cell membrane to signal appoptosis (Sivagnanam et al. 2017).  It has a C-terminal caspase recognition sequence that may play a role in apoptosis signalling. Xkr4 TC# 2.A.112.1.11), Xkr8 and Xkr9 (TC# 2.A.112.1.12) have this activity and have several essential residues in TMS2 and cytoplasmic loop 2 (Suzuki et al. 2014). It is a 6 TMS protein that is activated by caspases during apoptosis and promotes phospholipid scrambling, thus exposing PS as an "eat-me-signal" (Suzuki and Nagata 2014). Basigin (BSG; TC# 2.A.23.1.1) and neuroplastin (NPTN; TC# 2.A.23.1.8)) bind to Xkr8 and usher it to the plasma membrane (Suzuki et al. 2016).
