Gene: TMEM26

Alternate names for this Gene: -

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a protein containing multiple transmembrane helices. It is a selective surface protein marker of brite/beige adipocytes, which may coexist with classical brown adipocytes in brown adipose tissue. Alternative splicing of this gene results in multiple transcript variants.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 10

Location in Chromosome : 10q21.2

Description of this Gene: transmembrane protein 26

Type of Gene: protein-coding
