TMEM221
Description
The TMEM221 (transmembrane protein 221) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 19.
TMEM221 is a protein encoded by the TMEM221 gene in humans. Its function is not fully understood. The TMEM221 gene spans 13,159 base pairs, has three exons, and is located on chromosome 19. It is highly expressed in most tissues, indicating a potential role as a housekeeping gene. Its highest expression is observed in the brain, adrenal gland, and ovaries.
The exact function of TMEM221 remains unclear, but its widespread expression across various tissues suggests it might play a critical role in fundamental cellular processes.
TMEM221 is also known as Jiraiya.
