Tmem237 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Involved in cilium assembly and regulation of Wnt signaling pathway. Located in cone photoreceptor outer segment; photoreceptor connecting cilium; and rod photoreceptor outer segment. Is expressed in alimentary system; diaphragm; gallbladder; lower urinary tract; and reproductive system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Joubert syndrome and Joubert syndrome 14. Orthologous to human TMEM237 (transmembrane protein 237). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

Protein Domains
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 Tmem237 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
