Gene Review

TM9SF1  -  transmembrane 9 superfamily member 1

Homo sapiens

Synonyms: HMP70, MP70, MP70 protein family member, Transmembrane 9 superfamily member 1, hMP70
 
 
 

High impact information on TM9SF1

 

  • Large N-terminal variable domain and nine putative transmembrane domains [1]
  • Gene expression of TM9SF1 appears to be ubiquitous, as the mRNA is detectable in all human tissues analysed so far, as shown by Northern blot analysis [1].
  • Member of the highly conserved TM9SF or nonaspanin family [1] [2] .
  • TM9SF1 induces autophagy [3].
  • The gene name MP70(hMP70) is not used anymore as it may be confounded with MP70(Cx50; connexin 50).
