Overview of Gene Research
TMEM171, Transmembrane Protein 171, is a gene whose exact function is still being elucidated, but its associations suggest involvement in multiple biological processes. Genome-wide association studies have linked it to serum urate concentrations, which are related to gout, indicating its potential role in metabolic control of urate production and excretion [1]. It has also been associated with the regulation of coagulation factor VIII and von Willebrand factor plasma levels, hinting at a role in blood-related physiological processes [2].

In the context of diseases, TMEM171 has been implicated in various cancers. In early-stage lung adenocarcinoma, it is among the methylation driver genes used to establish a prognostic index [3]. In triple-negative breast cancer, its expression can be down-regulated by apigenin in TNFα-immuno-activated cells, potentially affecting tumorigenic leukocyte infiltration [4]. In murine macrophages, punicalagin, a PTP1B inhibitor, up-regulates TMEM171 during M2c-like macrophage polarization, influencing the anti-inflammatory response [5]. In papillary thyroid cancer, TMEM171 is part of a prognostic prediction model constructed from glucose metabolism-related genes, and the model can help guide chemotherapy, targeted therapy, and immune checkpoint blockade therapy [6].

In summary, TMEM171 is associated with multiple biological processes and disease conditions. Its involvement in metabolic, blood-related, and cancer-associated processes makes it an important gene for further functional studies. The findings from various disease-related research, though not from gene knockout models in the provided references, suggest its potential as a biomarker and therapeutic target in diseases such as gout and certain cancers.
