Biology:Transmembrane protein 242
From HandWiki
Transmembrane Protein 242 is a protein encoded by the Transmembrane 242 (tmem242) gene located in the human genome. The tmem242 gene is located on chromosome 6, on the long arm, in band 2 section 5.3. This protein is also commonly called C6orf35, BM033, and UPF0463 Transmembrane Protein C6orf35. The tmem242 gene is 35,238 base pairs long, and the protein is 141 amino acids in length. The tmem242 gene contains 4 exons.[1] The function of this protein is not well understood by the scientific community.
Function/Biochemistry
The tmem242 protein is highly expressed in many tissues, but the most highly expressed in the brain, heart, adrenal, and thyroid.[2]
