Function

Plays an important role in bone formation and normal bone mineralization (PubMed:20025746, PubMed:22416756, PubMed:26207632). Promotes the differentiation of myoblasts into osteoblasts (PubMed:20025746, PubMed:22416756, PubMed:22579779). May induce the commitment and differentiation of myoblasts into osteoblasts through an enhancement of BMP2 production and interaction with the BMP-RUNX2 pathway (PubMed:21239498, PubMed:22579779). Up-regulates the expression of ATF4 which plays a central role in osteoblast differentiation (PubMed:24362451). Essential for normal spermatogenesis and late testicular differentiation (PubMed:26207632).

Activity summary

TMEM119 also known as transmembrane protein 119 plays a role in cell membrane dynamics. It has a molecular mass of approximately 35 kDa. TMEM119 is specifically expressed in microglia in the central nervous system. Microglia serve essential functions in brain homeostasis and immune response. Given its expression profile TMEM119 serves as a marker to identify microglia especially in research focused on neurological tissues. Researchers often utilize techniques like microglial flow cytometry and microglial staining for identification and quantification of microglial populations often in frozen marker studies.

Biological function summary

TMEM119 regulates signaling pathways that maintain microglial identity and function but does not typically form part of larger complexes. It modulates microglial activation states and influences responses to central nervous system injury and inflammation. As a membrane protein it may interact with other surface molecules although specific binding partners are not well-characterized in current literature. Researchers value TMEM119 as a reliable marker in studies aiming to distinguish brain-resident microglia from infiltrating peripheral macrophages.

Pathways

TMEM119 functions as a modulator within inflammatory and neuroimmune pathways. It plays roles in the NF-kB signaling and the neuroinflammatory cascade. Its relationship with proteins like CD68 and Iba1 indicates it may influence pathways tied to immune responses and phagocytosis within nervous system contexts. Understanding the interactions and co-expression of TMEM119 with these proteins helps clarify its contribution to neuroimmune functions.

Associated diseases and disorders

TMEM119 links with neurological conditions such as Alzheimer's disease and multiple sclerosis. Altered expression of TMEM119 appears in disease states potentially contributing to pathogenesis through disrupted inflammatory responses. Its association with proteins such as TREM2 in Alzheimer's suggests that TMEM119 may play indirect roles in the progression of neurodegeneration. Furthermore high TMEM119 levels in pathological samples provide insights into microglial involvement in disease progression and potential targets for therapeutic interventions.

    Flow cytometry analysis of HEK-293T (human embryonic kidney) transfected with Myc-His tagged mouse TMEM119 expression vector labeling TMEM119 with ab210405 at 1/2000 dilution (0.1μg/mL) (right) compared with isotype control rabbit monoclonal IgG Rabbit IgG, monoclonal [EPR25A] - Isotype Control ab172730 (Left). Cells were surface-stained with ab210405, then fixed with 2% PFA for 10 minutes and permeabilised with 0.1% Tween-20 for 30 minutes. Next, they were stained with Alexa Fluor® 647 conjugated Myc-tag antibody and Alexa Fluor® 488 conjugated secondary antibody. Only Myc-tag (+) population showed TMEM119 positive staining.

    Alexa Fluor® 488 (Alexa Fluor® 488 Anti-TMEM119 antibody [106-6] - Microglial marker ab225497) and R-PE (PE Anti-TMEM119 antibody [106-6] - Microglial marker ab225496) conjugated versions are available for this clone.

    Flow cytometric analysis of acutely isolated primary mouse microglia (P60 BL6 mouse; wildtype CD11b+CD45lo brain cells) cells labeling TMEM119 with ab210405 at 0.5μg/mL (red) and 0.1μg/mL (blue), compared with TMEM119 KO primary mouse brain cells (black) stained with ab210405 at 0.5μg/mL. Goat anti-Rabbit IgG (Alexa Fluor®488) at 1/500 dilution was used as the secondary antibody.

    No signal was detected on the surface of CD11b+CD45lo brain cells from TMEM119 KO mouse (black) stained with ab210405; whereas in wildtype CD11b+CD45lo brain cells, cell surface staining was observed (red 0.5ug/mL; blue 0.1ug/mL).

    The data was provided by Ben Barres' lab (Stanford University). PMID: 26884166.

Membranes were blocked in 3 % milk in TBS-0.1 % Tween® 20 (TBS-T) before incubation with primary antibodies overnight at 4 °C. Blots were washed four times in TBS-T, incubated with secondary antibodies for 1 h at room temperature, washed again four times then imaged. Secondary antibodies used were Goat anti-Rabbit IgG H&L 800CW and Goat anti-Mouse IgG H&L 680RD at 1/20000 dilution.
