tmem-32

MMGT1 (Membrane Magnesium Transporter 1, also known as EMC5 and TMEM32) is a Protein Coding gene. 2 alternatively spliced human isoforms have been reported. The encoded protein belongs to the membrane magnesium transporter (TC 1.A.67) family which is a group of magnesium transporters that are part of the TOG superfamily. It mediates Mg(2+) transport. MMGT1 is described as having 335 amino acids and five TMSs with an N-terminal cleavage site and some phosphorylation sites. It is widely expressed in the thyroid, bone marrow, and other tissues. Diseases associated with MMGT1 include Cercarial Dermatitis. Among its related pathways are the Transport of glucose and other sugars, bile salts and organic acids, metal ions and amine compounds, and Miscellaneous transport and binding events.
