TMEM170A
Description
The TMEM170A (transmembrane protein 170A) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 16.
TMEM170A plays a crucial role in shaping the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and nuclear envelope (NE), influencing their structure and function. It promotes the formation of ER sheets over tubules, altering the ER's morphology. TMEM170A also affects nuclear envelope expansion, the assembly of nuclear pore complexes, and the correct positioning of proteins within the inner nuclear membrane.
TMEM170A is also known as TMEM170.
