TMEM247
Description
The TMEM247 (transmembrane protein 247) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 2.
TMEM247 is a human gene located on chromosome 2. It spans 4,861 nucleotides before mRNA processing, which reduces it to 661 nucleotides. The gene encodes a protein of 219 amino acids, containing two transmembrane regions near its C-terminus. Notably, TMEM247 lacks a stop codon and instead uses polyadenylation for termination. Consequently, it has no 3' UTR. The gene's promoter region harbors numerous predicted binding sites, hinting at complex regulatory mechanisms. Most importantly, TMEM247 is predominantly expressed in the testes, suggesting a role in male reproduction, though its specific function remains unknown.
The function of TMEM247 is currently unknown. However, its expression is primarily confined to the testes, suggesting a potential role in male reproductive processes.
TMEM247 is also known as -.
