Summary
This gene encodes a protein containing multiple transmembrane helices. It is a selective surface protein marker of brite/beige adipocytes, which may coexist with classical brown adipocytes in brown adipose tissue. Alternative splicing of this gene results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2015]
