TMEM51

Transmembrane protein 51 is a protein in humans that is encoded by the TMEM51 gene.^[5] It is located on the first chromosome (1p36.21) and has 6 isoforms in humans.^[6] It has orthologs in mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, and fish.^[6]

Pairwise Alignment of Human (Homo sapiens) TMEM51 and Zebrafish (Danio rerio) TMEM51 Amino Acid Sequences

It is predicted to be a transmembrane protein due to the transmembrane regions within its coding sequence.^[7]

TMEM51-AS1 (a long non-coding RNA from the TMEM51 locus) acts as a tumor suppressor when overexpressed, inhibiting cancer cell progression.^[8] Mutations or polymorphisms of the TMEM51 are associated susceptibility to Reynaud's syndrome.^[9]
