It is expressed in specific regions of the brain as well as in other tissue types such as the lungs and immune system cells. Its expression levels are especially elevated in microglia and oligodendrocytes which are brain cells that play important roles in immune response and myelination respectively. Structurally TMEM106B contains a transmembrane domain and its precise biochemical function is still under investigation though it is thought to participate in lysosomal and vesicular trafficking.\u003cbr\u003e\nBiological function summary\u003cbr\u003e\nTMEM106B is involved in several cellular processes impacting lysosome function and trafficking. It may become part of a protein complex that manages lysosomal positioning and pathway regulation within the cell. TMEM106B also affects cellular homeostasis and protein degradation which suggests a role in maintaining the proper balance of proteins and lipids within lysosomes. Alteration in TMEM106B expression or function can cause changes in lysosomal size and distribution indicating its role in cellular logistics.\u003cbr\u003e\nPathways\u003cbr\u003e\nThe TMEM106B protein becomes involved in the endolysosomal pathway and the autophagy-lysosome pathway. These pathways are critical for processing and breakdown of cellular waste and recycling of cellular components. In these pathways TMEM106B interacts with other proteins such as SORT1 (sortilin 1) and GRN (progranulin) both of which have important roles in protein sorting and trafficking. By influencing these pathways TMEM106B helps maintain cellular health and function.\u003cbr\u003e\nTMEM106B links to neurodegenerative conditions such as frontotemporal lobar degeneration and possibly Alzheimer's disease. Mutations or abnormal expression levels of TMEM106B have been implicated in the pathogenesis and progression of these diseases. In frontotemporal lobar degeneration TMEM106B interacts with proteins like GRN where changes can lead to neurodegeneration. In Alzheimer's disease abnormal lysosomal function tied to TMEM106B may contribute to the accumulation of pathogenic proteins.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Abcam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46845066215593,"sku":"ab273711","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/ar\/products\/abcam-ab273711","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
