TMEM106C also known as Transmembrane Protein 106C is a protein that plays a role in cellular processes. It has a molecular mass of approximately 29 kDa. This protein is generally observed to be expressed in a variety of tissues but specific expression patterns may depend on the cellular context and physiological conditions. TMEM106C localizes mainly to the cell membrane which suggests its involvement in transmembrane signaling or transport mechanisms.
Biological function summary
The protein can participate in processes related to cellular homeostasis and signaling pathways. Although it is not widely characterized as part of a larger complex the protein likely interacts with other membrane-associated proteins to mediate its effects. Potential biological activities may include regulatory mechanisms that ensure proper cellular function and communication.
Pathways
TMEM106C interacts with components involved in cellular signaling and communication pathways. It may be involved in pathways like the PI3K-Akt signaling pathway which is important for regulating cell cycle and survival. TMEM106C may also share relationships with proteins such as Akt and PI3K which are central to these pathways contributing to proliferative and survival signaling cascades.
TMEM106C is associated with neurodegenerative and metabolic conditions. For instance alterations in its expression or function might play a role in Alzheimer's disease where other proteins like tau are also involved. Additionally metabolic disorders such as diabetes may also highlight the role of TMEM106C through its connection with insulin signaling-related pathways influencing glucose metabolism and homeostasis.
