TMEM98
Transmembrane protein 98 is a single-pass membrane protein that in humans is encoded by the ''TMEM98'' gene. The function of this protein is currently unknown. TMEM98 is also known as UNQ536/PRO1079. Gene This gene is found on the plus strand of chromosome 17 at locus 17q11.2. It spans from base pairs 31,254,928 to 31,272,124. Variants There are two known transcript variants that encode for TMEM98. Variant one corresponds to the longer of the two, has 8 Exon, exons, and is 1808 bases in length. Variant two codes for the same protein, but is slightly shorter at exon 2 and is missing exon 3; it is 1732 bases long. This missing region corresponds to 85 base pairs near the end of the 5' UTR. Variant one is more abundant than Variant two with 17 times the amount mRNA extracted in various human tissue experiments. Evolution Paralogs There are no known paralogs for TMEM98. While not functional, there are two pseudogenes found on chromosome 6 and 14 in ''Homo sapiens''. Ortho ...
