TMEM50A
Description
The TMEM50A (transmembrane protein 50A) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 1.
The TMEM50A gene encodes a protein called Transmembrane protein 50A, which is found in humans. This gene is located near the RHD and RHCE genes on chromosome 1. The exact function of the protein is not known, but its sequence suggests it might be embedded within cell membranes. Its location near the RH genes suggests that variations in this gene could be linked to blood type (Rh) variations. The TMEM50A gene spans 2284 base pairs, contains 7 exons, and encodes a protein 157 amino acids long. Computer predictions suggest the protein is likely found in the cell's outer membrane or the endoplasmic reticulum.
TMEM50A is also known as IFNRC, SMP1.
