TM9SF2

This gene encodes a member of the transmembrane 9 superfamily. The encoded 76 kDa protein localizes to early endosomes in human cells. The encoded protein possesses a conserved and highly hydrophobic C-terminal domain which contains nine transmembrane domains. The protein may play a role in small molecule transport or act as an ion channel. A pseudogene associated with this gene is located on the X chromosome. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2012]

A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in human TM9SF2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
