Tmem120a - transmembrane protein 120A Gene

Also Known as Tmpit; 2010310D06Rik

Species: Mus musculus

Gene Type: protein coding
Gene ID: 215210

Summary

Enables ion channel activity. Involved in several processes, including detection of mechanical stimulus involved in sensory perception of pain; fat cell differentiation; and protein complex oligomerization. Located in plasma membrane. Is expressed in central nervous system and ganglia. Orthologous to human TMEM120A (transmembrane protein 120A). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
