text: Like the other members in the CMTM protein family, CMTM6 has a structure that contains domains (i.e. parts) similar to those in chemokine proteins; tetraspanin proteins (also termed transmembrane-4 superfamily proteins); the myelin and lymphocyte protein (also termed MAR protein); proteins that direct membrane vesicle trafficking; and proteins that are embedded across cell membranes. CMTM6 proteins are expressed in virtually all tissues and are located in cell plasma membranes (i.e. cell surface membranes), lysosomes, endosomes, cytosol, attached to the cell's cytoskeleton, and in extracellular spaces.
