Tmem106b Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable ATPase binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including dendrite morphogenesis; lysosome localization; and lysosome organization. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including lysosomal lumen acidification; lysosomal protein catabolic process; and positive regulation of dendrite development. Predicted to be located in endosome and lysosome. Predicted to be active in lysosomal membrane. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in hypomyelinating leukodystrophy 16. Orthologous to human TMEM106B (transmembrane protein 106B). [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 rat Tmem106b often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
