Summary
TMEM198 (transmembrane protein 198, HGNC:33704) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 2q35, encoding Transmembrane protein 198 (Q66K66). Promotes LRP6 phosphorylation by casein kinases and thereby plays a role in Wnt signaling.
Involved in positive regulation of canonical Wnt signaling pathway. Located in cytoplasmic vesicle and plasma membrane.
