Overview of Gene Research
Tmem184b, a transmembrane protein, has diverse essential functions. It is involved in multiple biological processes, such as axon degeneration, synaptic maintenance, and endolysosomal acidification [3,4]. It may also play a role in regulating the expression of genes related to neural development and synaptic function, and is associated with the Wnt signaling pathway [2]. Genetic models, like KO mouse models, have been crucial for studying its functions.
In KO mouse models, loss of Tmem184b leads to phenotypes including delayed axon degeneration after nerve injury, abnormal neuromuscular junction architecture, and sensory-motor function deficits, indicating its importance in peripheral nerve terminal structure and function [3]. In the retina, Tmem184b deletion causes retina degeneration, with reduced electroretinogram amplitudes, retinal thinning, and cell death [5]. In humans, de novo heterozygous variants in TMEM184B are associated with neurodevelopmental deficits, and zebrafish with suppressed Tmem184B ortholog show microcephaly and reduced anterior commissural neurons, suggesting its role in neural development [1].
In conclusion, Tmem184b is vital for the normal development and function of the nervous system, as demonstrated by model-based research. Its disruption can lead to neurodevelopmental syndromes, retina degeneration, and abnormal sensory-motor function, highlighting its significance in understanding these disease areas.
