TMEM165 transmembrane protein 165

Gene ID: 55858, updated on 7-Apr-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: FT27; GDT1; CDG2K; TPARL; TMPT27; SLC64A1

Summary

This gene encodes a predicted transmembrane protein with a perinuclear Golgi-like distribution in fibroblasts. Mutations in this gene are associated with the autosomal recessive disorder congenital disorder of glycosylation, type IIk. Knockdown of this gene's expression causes decreased sialylation in HEK cells and suggests this gene plays a role in terminal Golgi glycosylation. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2012]
