TMCO4
Description
The TMCO4 (transmembrane and coiled-coil domains 4) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 1.
TMCO4, short for Transmembrane and coiled-coil domains 4, is a human protein encoded by the TMCO4 gene. While its exact function remains unclear, it's characterized as a transmembrane protein that is predicted to cross the endoplasmic reticulum membrane three times. Notably, TMCO4 interacts with proteins implicated in cancer development, hinting at a possible involvement in cancer.
Gene
TMCO4 resides on the minus strand of chromosome 1 at position 1p36.13. Spanning 118,172 base pairs, it extends from base pair 19,682,213 to 19,800,385. TMCO4 lacks any common aliases and is flanked by genes CAPZB and LOC105376823 on chromosome 1. It comprises 16 exons.
mRNA
Twenty different mRNA transcript variants (X1-X20) are generated through various combinations of its sixteen exons.
The precise function of TMCO4 is not yet fully understood. However, it is a transmembrane protein that likely traverses the endoplasmic reticulum membrane three times. Its interactions with proteins linked to cancer development suggest a potential role in cancer.
TMCO4 is also known as -.
