CTAGE family member 15 (CTAGE15)

CTAGE family member 15 (CTAGE15) is a protein predicted to participate in vesicle trafficking between the endoplasmic reticulum and the Golgi apparatus, supporting protein secretion and cargo loading[1][4]. The protein is predicted to be membrane-associated, localizing to the endoplasmic reticulum or ER exit sites[1]. There is minimal characterization regarding its specific physiological roles, disease associations, or relevance to pharmacology. CTAGE15 has no known therapeutic significance or use as a biomarker. It may be a non-coding pseudogene in some humans, and no drugs target this protein. CTAGE15 should not be confused with CRTAM or nectin/nectin-like family members, which are cell adhesion and immune regulatory proteins[3]. Some sources list CTAGE15 as "Protein Coding", while others refer to it as "pseudogene", indicating it may be non-functional or poorly characterized[1].
