TMEM176B
Transmembrane Protein 176B, or TMEM176B is a transmembrane protein that in humans is encoded by the TMEM176B gene. It is thought to play a role in the process of maturation of dendritic cells.[5]
Gene[edit]
Location[edit]
TMEM176B is also known as LR8, and MS4B2.[6] The gene is found on the minus end of Chromosome 7, on the long arm at position 7q36.1.[7] The starting position of the gene is at 150,791,287 and goes to 150,801,360. It has 10,074 base pairs and has a total of 11 exons.[8]
Gene[edit]
TMEM176A and LOC105375566 is a neighbor of TMEM176B.[9][10]
Expression[edit]
The gene is found to be most expressed in the liver with the kidney being the second most expressed tissue.[6]
Transcript variants[edit]
There are 3 isoforms (A, B, C) of this gene with variants of isoform A and C. Isoform A variant 1 has 1444 nucleotides that encode 270 amino acids. There are 17 alternatively spliced variants with 1 unspliced transcript variant.[11]
Homology[edit]
Paralogs[edit]
There is one paralog of TMEM176B which is TMEM176A.[12]

There are around 125 orthologs of the gene ranging from primates to mice and to certain species of fish.[13]
Homologs[edit]
The homologs of this gene include chimpanzee, rhesus monkey, dog, cow, mouse, and rat.[14]
Protein[edit]
The molecular weight of TMEM176B is 29.1 kilodaltons (kDa). The protein is rich in valine and poor in aspartic acid.[15] There are 4 transmembrane regions within TMEM176B isoform a.[16] There is a CD20 domain from 198-687.[17]
Domains[edit]
The CD20-like family includes the CD20 gene but is part of the family pfam04103 which is part of superfamily cl04401. This specific domain region is 489 bp.[18]
Secondary structure[edit]
TMEM176B is composed of alpha helices, beta strands and TM helices. The Alpha helices make up most of the secondary structure followed by TM helices.[19]
Subcellular localization[edit]
Mainly localized to the Golgi apparatus but is additionally localized to the plasma membrane and nucleoplasm.[20]
Protein-protein interactions[edit]
The protein interacts most commonly with TMEM176A. It also interacts with TMEM47 and CPXM1 (carboxypeptidase 1) but at lower levels.[21]
Regulation[edit]
Gene[edit]
There are 11 promoters in TMEM176B. The promoter region before isoform a is 1101 bp and covers 150,799,077-150,800,177.[22]
Protein[edit]
There are 4 phosphorylation sites in TMEM176B isoform a.[23]
Clinical significance[edit]
There has been research that indicates that TMEM176B is associated with cancer when an abnormal of the gene accumulates.[24]
