Tmem87a

Predicted to be involved in cellular response to mechanical stimulus; detection of mechanical stimulus involved in sensory perception of touch; and retrograde transport, endosome to Golgi. Predicted to be located in plasma membrane and ruffle. Predicted to be active in Golgi cisterna membrane. Orthologous to human TMEM87A (transmembrane protein 87A).

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 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.
