transmembrane anterior posterior transformation protein 1 homolog (cytomegalovirus partial fusion receptor) (TAPT1 CMVFR)

Function

• may act as a downstream effector of HOXC8 possibly by transducing or transmitting extracellular information required for axial skeletal patterning during development
• in case of infection, may act as a fusion receptor for cytomegalovirus (HCMV) strain AD169

Structure

belongs to the TAPT1 family

Compartment

membrane (putative)

Alternative splicing

named isoforms=2
