TMEM208 transmembrane protein 208

Gene ID: 29100, updated on 17-Jun-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: SND2; hSND2; HSPC171

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]
