LSMEM1


Description

The LSMEM1 (leucine rich single-pass membrane protein 1) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 7.

The LSMEM1 gene, located on chromosome 7q31.1, encodes a protein known as Leucine-Rich Single-Pass Membrane Protein 1 (LSMEM1). The gene is 1686 base pairs long and contains 5 exons. The mRNA includes a 5' UTR (positions 1-341) and a 3' UTR (positions 738-1686). The protein encoded by LSMEM1 is 131 amino acids long with a molecular weight of 14.2-14.5 kDal. It has an isoelectric point of approximately 5, indicating a slightly acidic nature. LSMEM1 is an integral membrane protein and a transmembrane protein. While it contains a transmembrane segment, it is primarily composed of coils and has relatively few beta strands.

LSMEM1 is also known as C7orf53.
