TMEM140 also known as Transmembrane Protein 140 is a membrane protein with an approximate mass of 31 kDa. This protein spans the cell membrane and currently researchers identify its presence in various tissues including the brain and testis. TMEM140 involves in cellular signal transduction due to its integral membrane position and though the precise mechanical action remains under exploration experts suspect it plays a part in intracellular communication.
Biological function summary
TMEM140 impacts cell processes involving cellular differentiation and development. The protein does not traditionally belong to any larger multiprotein complex but preliminary evidence suggests it may interact with specific signaling molecules. Its expression and function imply potential roles in neurogenesis and gametogenesis contributing to the broader understanding of development.
Pathways
TMEM140 connects with pathways involving neural development and reproductive processes. It appears to interact with proteins related to these pathways which include other transmembrane proteins integral to cellular signaling. Experts study its involvement within MAPK signaling cascades a pathway important for transmitting extracellular signals to the cell nucleus affecting processes like growth and differentiation.
Alterations in TMEM140 function link to neurodegenerative disorders like Alzheimer's disease and certain fertility issues. The protein interacts with proteins such as tau in neuronal contexts which relates to neurodegeneration. In reproductive health aberrant TMEM140 expression might affect proteins in the spermatogenesis pathway potentially leading to infertility.
