TMEM165


Description

The TMEM165 gene, also known as ANO5, encodes a transmembrane protein involved in calcium-activated chloride channel activity. This protein plays a crucial role in various cellular functions, including ion transport, cell volume regulation, and neurotransmitter release. Its dysfunction can lead to severe neuromuscular disorders, highlighting its importance in maintaining proper muscle function. Recent research has uncovered its potential involvement in other diseases, making it a promising target for therapeutic development.
