Gene Gene information from NCBI Gene database.
Entrez ID 51524
Gene name Transmembrane protein 138
Gene symbol TMEM138
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
HSPC196
Chromosome 11
Chromosome location 11q12.2
Summary This gene encodes a multi-pass transmembrane protein. Reduced expression of this gene in mouse fibroblasts causes short cilia and failure of ciliogenesis. Expression of this gene is tightly coordinated with expression of the neighboring gene TMEM216. Muta
