Small integral membrane protein 5 (SMIM5)

Small integral membrane protein 5 (SMIM5) is a protein encoded by the SMIM5 gene (previously known as C17orf109)[1]. This protein is predicted to be a small membrane protein, likely localized to cellular membranes, but its precise function in humans remains undefined[1][3]. There is currently no experimental evidence supporting specific molecular functions or biological processes for SMIM5, and it is not classified as a receptor, enzyme, transporter, or other established drug target class[1][3][5]. Expression data indicate transcription in various tissues, but functional roles and disease associations have not been established[6][7]. As of now, SMIM5 is not recognized as a therapeutic target, nor are there drugs or established disease links associated with it.
