Transmembrane Protein 91 (TMEM91)

Transmembrane protein 91 (TMEM91) is a 172 amino acid member of the capucin family. A multi-pass transmembrane protein, TMEM91 contains two putative transmembrane regions. TMEM91, Belongs to the capucin family. Membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. The gene encoding TMEM91 maps to chromosome 19q13.2. Chromosome 19 includes a diversity of interesting genes and is recognized for having the greatest gene density of the human chromosomes. It is the genetic home for a number of immunoglobulin superfamily members including the killer cell and leukocyte Ig-like receptors, a number of ICAMs, the CEACAM and PSG family, and Fc receptors. Key genes for eye color and hair color also map to chromosome 19.
