Tmem87a

Involved in detection of mechanical stimulus involved in sensory perception of touch. Predicted to be located in plasma membrane and ruffle. Predicted to be active in Golgi cisterna membrane. Is expressed in facial ganglion. Orthologous to human TMEM87A (transmembrane protein 87A). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

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 mouse Tmem87a often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.

The most significant associations for this gene, including commonly observed domains, pathway involvement, and functional highlights based on current data.

Locations within the cell where the protein is known or predicted to be active, providing insight into its function and cellular context.
