TMEM161A also known as Transmembrane Protein 161A is a member of the larger transmembrane protein family. Structurally TMEM161A is characterized by multiple transmembrane domains. Its mass is approximately 55 kDa. Researchers have observed its expression in various tissues including the brain and kidney. The exact mechanical role is not fully elucidated but it is suggested to play a role in cellular communication through its membrane localization.
Biological function summary
TMEM161A contributes to cellular processes involving intercellular signaling and ion transport. Although scientists have not yet identified a specific complex that includes TMEM161A its function as a transmembrane protein implies potential involvement in forming channels or receptors. These elements are important for maintaining ionic balances and signaling pathways inside cells indicating TMEM161A as a supportive component in these processes.
Pathways
Recent findings indicate TMEM161A's potential involvement in cell signaling and transport pathways. An important pathway that features TMEM161A activity includes signal transduction where it may interact with proteins like ion channels such as voltage-gated channels. These interactions suggest TMEM161A could modulate responses to cellular environment changes linking it to broader cellular response mechanisms.
Scientists have noted potential links between TMEM161A and neurological disorders. Some studies suggest its involvement in conditions like epilepsy where abnormal ion transport plays a significant role. Alterations in TMEM161A expression might impact channel proteins such as voltage gated potassium channels which are important for maintaining action potentials in neurons potentially exacerbating these conditions. Research continues to explore TMEM161A's full role in these disorders.
