TMEM158 transmembrane protein 158

Gene ID: 25907, updated on 16-Apr-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: BBP; RIS1; p40BBP

Summary

Constitutive activation of the Ras pathway triggers an irreversible proliferation arrest reminiscent of replicative senescence. Transcription of this gene is upregulated in response to activation of the Ras pathway, but not under other conditions that induce senescence. The encoded protein is similar to a rat cell surface receptor proposed to function in a neuronal survival pathway. An allelic polymorphism in this gene results in both functional and non-functional (frameshifted) alleles; the reference genome represents the functional allele. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2015]
