Activity summary

TMEM192 also known as Transmembrane Protein 192 has a molecular weight of approximately 25 kDa. It is a lysosomal membrane protein expressed in various tissues including the spleen and thymus. This protein predominantly localizes to the lysosomal compartment where it plays a role in maintaining lysosomal integrity. Researchers often study TMEM192 for its role in membrane stabilization and its interaction with other lysosomal proteins.

Biological function summary

TMEM192 participates in the regulation of lysosomal functions. It integrates into the lysosomal membrane and contributes to the stability and function of this organelle. While not commonly part of larger protein complexes it influences lysosomal enzymatic activities by stabilizing the lysosomal environment. Its role in regulating pH and transport processes within the lysosome directly affects how the cell processes cellular debris and macromolecules.

Pathways

TMEM192 interacts with cellular processes related to lysosomal biogenesis and autophagy. It functions closely with lysosomal-associated membrane protein 1 (LAMP1) within the lysosomal pathway which plays a critical role in the degradation and recycling of cellular components. The lysosomal pathway where TMEM192 operates is significant for maintaining cellular homeostasis by regulating autophagic activity and responding to nutrient availability.

Associated diseases and disorders

Disruptions in TMEM192 function associate with lysosomal storage disorders. Altered expression or mutations in TMEM192 link to Niemann-Pick disease type C which involves the accumulation of lipids within lysosomes. LAMP1 a protein associated with TMEM192 also plays a part in this disease pathway contributing to understanding the mechanism of lysosomal dysregulation in Niemann-Pick and similar disorders.
