TMEM61

TMEM61 is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 2 in humans. It is also known as Transmembrane Protein 61. The function of TMEM61 is not yet fully understood, but it is believed to play a role in cellular processes related to membrane transport and signaling.

Structure

TMEM61 consists of approximately 300 amino acids and contains multiple transmembrane domains. The exact structure and topology of the protein are still being studied.

Function

The precise function of TMEM61 is currently under investigation. Studies suggest that it may be involved in ion transport across cellular membranes and could potentially play a role in cell signaling pathways.

Clinical Significance

Mutations in the TMEM61 gene have been associated with certain neurological disorders, although further research is needed to fully understand the implications of these genetic variations.
