TMEM237
Description
The TMEM237 gene encodes a transmembrane protein of unknown function. It is widely expressed in various tissues, particularly in the brain, heart, and skeletal muscle. TMEM237 is believed to play a crucial role in maintaining cellular integrity and function, potentially involved in protein trafficking, membrane organization, or signal transduction pathways. While its exact function remains under investigation, studies have linked TMEM237 to several neurological and cardiac disorders.
