TMEM208 transmembrane protein 208 [ Homo sapiens (human) ]
Source: NCBI Gene (ID 29100)
Symbol: TMEM208
Full name: transmembrane protein 208
Gene type: protein coding
RefSeq status: REVIEWED
Organism: Homo sapiens
Also known as: HSPC171; hSND2
Summary: This gene encodes a highly conserved protein which is localized in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). The protein is linked to autophagy and ER stress. Knockdown of this gene increased autophagy and triggered ER stress. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2015]
Expression: Ubiquitous expression in adrenal (RPKM 19.0), kidney (RPKM 17.8) and 25 other tissues
Orthologs: mouse
Gene size: 2149bp
Exon count: 6
