Transmembrane protein 155 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the TMEM155 gene. It is located on human chromosome 4, spanning 6,497 bases.[3] It is also referred to as FLJ30834 and LOC132332.[4] This protein is known to be expressed mainly in the brain, placenta, and lymph nodes and is conserved throughout most placental mammals.[5] The function and structure of this protein is still not well understood, but its level of expression has been studied pertaining to various pathologies.

Tertiary structure edit
The tertiary structure of TMEM155 is predicted in the image on the right. This is predicted to be the structure of the N-terminus tail of TMEM155 located inside the ER membrane.

Mutations edit
There are several notable SNPs in the coding sequence of TMEM155. These mutations include mostly missense and nonsense mutations. The table below summarizes the mutations found in TMEM155 in the conserved bases.[19]

Evolution edit
TMEM155 is evolving at the molecular level rather quickly. When compared to fibrinogen protein rate of evolution, the TMEM155 appears to be accumulating more amino acid changes in a shorter amount of time. Because it is faster than the quickly evolving fibrinogen, it is also evolving faster than cytochrome C protein, which is known to evolve slowly.
Homology edit
TMEM155 is conserved across most placental mammals.[5] DoD (MYA) refers to how many million years ago the gene diverged from the human version of the gene.[20]

Clinical significance edit
Ocular tissues edit
The upregulation of TMEM155 has been found in basal cell nevus syndrome fibroblasts.[21] TMEM155 was also found to be upregulated in corneal keratinocytes,[22] which could contribute to the upregulation of the gene being associated with nystagmus.
Brain tissues edit
TMEM155 regulation co-varies with families that have instances of essential tremor,[23]
Female reproductive tissues edit
Hypermethylated TMEM155 is a potential biomarker for HER2+ breast cancer.[24] The expression of TMEM155 was found to be higher in the oocytes of women with low antral follicular count, meaning it could be involved in the regulation of female fertility.[25]
