Transmembrane protein 44 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the TMEM44 gene.
Gene.
mRNA sequence of the TMEM44 gene is 1483 base pairs long, with 13 exons.
Locus.
TMEM44 gene is located at the end of the long arm of chromosome 3 in humans ("Homo sapiens").
Protein.
TMEM44 is 428 amino acids in length. The molecular weight of the protein is 47.1kDa, and its formula is C2086H3315N585O611S22, with a total of 6619 atoms. TMEM44 is predicted to be integrated in the plasma membrane of the endoplasmic reticulum.
