Function | In neurons, involved in the transport of late endosomes/lysosomes (PubMed:25066864). May be involved in dendrite morphogenesis and maintenance by regulating lysosomal trafficking (PubMed:25066864). May act as a molecular brake for retrograde transport of late endosomes/lysosomes, possibly via its interaction with MAP6 (By similarity). In motoneurons, may mediate the axonal transport of lysosomes and axonal sorting at the initial segment (By similarity). It remains unclear whether TMEM106B affects the transport of moving lysosomes in the anterograde or retrograde direction in neurites and whether it is important in the sorting of lysosomes in axons or in dendrites (By similarity). In neurons, may also play a role in the regulation of lysosomal size and responsiveness to stress (PubMed:25066864). Required for proper lysosomal acidification (By similarity). |
Cellular Location | Late endosome membrane; Single-pass type II membrane protein. Lysosome membrane; Single-pass type II membrane protein. Cell membrane; Single-pass type II membrane protein. Note=Colocalizes with LAMP1. A small fraction resides on the cell surface (PubMed:37421949). |
Tissue Location | Expressed in the brain, including in the frontal cortex (at protein level) (PubMed:35247328, PubMed:35344985). Expressed in lung epithelial cells (PubMed:33686287) |

Background
TMEM106B Antibody: Transmembrane protein 106B (TMEM106B) is a single-pass transmembrane protein that is thought to be a novel risk factor for frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD), a group of clinically, pathologically and genetically heterogeneous disorders associated with atrophy in the frontal lobe and temporal lobe of the brain. The actual role of TMEM106B, and that of the closely related protein TMEM106A are still undetermined.
