TRANSMEMBRANE PROTEIN 232; TMEM232


HGNC Approved Gene Symbol: TMEM232

Cytogenetic location: 5q22.1     Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 5:110,387,431-110,738,954 (from NCBI)


TEXT

Description

Members of the transmembrane (TMEM) protein family, such as TMEM232, are components of cellular membranes, including mitochondrial membranes, endoplasmic reticulum, lysosomes, and the Golgi apparatus (Zheng et al., 2021).


Gene Function

Using Western blot analysis, Zheng et al. (2021) found that levels of the T helper-2 cytokines IL4 (147780) and IL13 (147683) increased following overexpression of TMEM232 and decreased following knockdown of TMEM232 in HaCaT keratinocytes.


Mapping

Zheng et al. (2021) stated that the TMEM232 gene maps to chromosome 5q22.1.
