Short description: Transmembrane protein


Transmembrane protein 127 (TMEM127) is a transmembrane protein which is encoded by the TMEM127 gene.[1] It has been demonstrated to be a negative regulator MTOR signalling.[2] TMEM127 is a tumor suppressor gene, inactivating germline mutations in which causes hereditary pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma.[2][3]
