Tmem107 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to be involved in several processes, including embryonic digit morphogenesis; non-motile cilium assembly; and protein localization to ciliary transition zone. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including craniofacial suture morphogenesis; detection of nodal flow; and roof of mouth development. Predicted to be located in ciliary transition zone. Predicted to be part of MKS complex. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Meckel syndrome 13 and orofaciodigital syndrome XVI. Orthologous to human TMEM107 (transmembrane protein 107). [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 Tmem107 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
