Overview of Gene Research
TMEM87B is a eukaryotic transmembrane protein. It belongs to the TMEM87 protein family in humans, with TMEM87A being another member [2]. TMEM87s have proposed roles in protein transport to and from the Golgi, and TMEM87B might be involved in endosome-to-TGN retrograde transport as its overexpression in VPS54-KO cells partially restored relevant transport processes [2,3].
In glioma, TMEM87B was identified as a downstream gene of KLF11. KLF11 positively regulates its expression, and high TMEM87B expression in glioma samples indicates a poor prognosis. Elimination of TMEM87B reduces glioma cell proliferation, migration, and tumor spheroid formation, while increasing sensitivity to TMZ. In contrast, overexpression has the opposite effects [1].
In zebrafish, depletion of TMEM87B affects cardiac development, leading to cardiac hypoplasia. This suggests its role in congenital heart disease, especially when combined with 2q13 microdeletion. A patient with such a deletion and a TMEM87B mutation presented with an atrial septal defect and restrictive cardiomyopathy [4,5].
In conclusion, TMEM87B plays important roles in glioma progression and response to treatment, as well as in cardiac development. Studies, including those using zebrafish models with TMEM87B depletion, have revealed its functions in these biological processes and disease-related conditions, providing potential targets for glioma therapy and insights into congenital heart disease mechanisms [1,4,5].
