cd10431: GHITM (This model is not part of the current CDD release)
Growth-hormone inducible transmembrane protein
GHITM appears to be ubiquitously expressed in mammalian cells and expression has also been observed in various cancer cell lines. A cytoprotective function has been suggested. It is closely related to the BAX inhibitor (BI)-1 like family of small transmembrane proteins, which have been shown to have an antiapoptotic effect.
