TMEM165

Transmembrane protein 165 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the TMEM165 gene.^[1] The gene is also known as TPARL and TMPT27.^[1]

Model organisms have been used in the study of TMEM165 function. A conditional knockout mouse line, called Tmem165^{tm1e(EUCOMM)Wtsi}^[7] was generated as part of the International Knockout Mouse Consortium program — a high-throughput mutagenesis project to generate and distribute animal models of disease to interested scientists.^[8]^[9]^[10]

Male and female animals underwent a standardized phenotypic screen to determine the effects of deletion.^[5]^[11] Twenty three tests were carried out on mutant mice and two significant abnormalities were observed.^[5] Homozygous mutant males had skeletal deformities, including scoliosis, and an increased susceptibility to bacterial infection.^[5]
