Anti-Transmembrane protein 25 precursor

Biological Activity

TMEM25 (Transmembrane protein 25) is a novel transmembrane protein belonging to the immunoglobulin superfamily. It is expressed in several regions of brain including cerebellar cortex and hippocampus. In addition to normal cells, its expression also has been found in the neuroblastoma, brain tumors, and gastric cancer. it is involved in the immune responses, growth factor signaling, and cell adhesion. Research has proved TMEM25 as a potential traget for the field of oncology and regenerative medicine. It has also been reported th at hypermethylated TMEM25 may play a role in the colorectal cancer.
