Summary
Predicted to be located in membrane. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jun 2025]
Annotation information
Note: In the NCBI Build 37.2 reference assembly, TMEM236 (FAM23A) and FAM23B are duplicate genes in close proximity to each other on chromosome 10. In July 2010, the Genome Reference Consortium determined that the region contains a duplication error. The clone on which FAM23B was based (AL928729) will be removed from the reference assembly and only TMEM236 will be present in the assembly. [13 Feb 2013]
Expression
Biased expression in small intestine (RPKM 7.1), duodenum (RPKM 4.6) and 2 other tissues See more

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.

Suppressed Reference Sequence(s)

The following Reference Sequences have been suppressed. Explain

  1. NM_001013629.1: Suppressed sequence

    Description
    NM_001013629.1: This RefSeq was permanently suppressed because currently there is insufficient support for the transcript and the protein.
