Transmembrane protein 167A (TMEM167A)

Transmembrane protein 167A (TMEM167A) is a protein encoded by the TMEM167A gene, predicted to be involved in protein secretion and to localize to the Golgi membrane[1]. It is an integral membrane protein classified within the large and heterogeneous family of transmembrane proteins, many of which have poorly characterized functions[2]. Current evidence does not indicate TMEM167A functions as a classic therapeutic target (e.g., receptor, enzyme, transporter), nor is it formally linked to any specific disease role or interacting drugs at this time[1][2]. Further research may clarify its biological significance and possible clinical relevance.
