Summary
TMEM63B (transmembrane protein 63B, HGNC:17735) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 6p21.1, encoding Mechanosensitive cation channel TMEM63B (Q5T3F8). Mechanosensitive cation channel with low conductance and high activation threshold.
Enables mechanosensitive monoatomic cation channel activity. Predicted to be involved in sensory perception of sound and surfactant secretion. Located in actin cytoskeleton; cytoplasmic vesicle membrane; and plasma membrane.

Function. Mechanosensitive cation channel with low conductance and high activation threshold. Osmosensitive cation channel preferentially activated by hypotonic stress. Also acts as a phospholipid scramblase in response to changes in membrane structure: upon changes in membrane curvature and thickness, alters its conformation and translocates phospholipids, such as phosphatidylcholine and sphingomyelin, thereby controlling plasma membrane lipid distribution. Forms a heterodimer with SLC19A2, which mediates phospholipid scramblase activity following Ca(2+) stimulation. Expressed in excitatory neurons of the subfornical organ and functions as a thirst receptor that mediates neuronal response to hyperosmolality to drive thirst and drinking behavior. Facilitates intestinal motility by promoting proliferation of intestinal stem cells. Essential for the baby’s first breath and respiration throughout life. Upon lung inflation conducts cation currents in alveolar type 1 and 2 cells triggering lamellar body exocytosis and surfactant secretion into airspace. Acts as an osmosensor in cochlear outer hair cells (OHCs) where it mediates calcium influx and regulatory volume decrease response. Required for the maintenance of OHC morphology, OHC survival and normal hearing.
Subunit / interactions. Monomer. Interacts with SLC19A2; interaction is required for the phospholipid scramblase activity.
Subcellular location. Cell membrane. Endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Lysosome membrane. Early endosome membrane.
Post-translational modifications. Palmitoylation is required for localization to the plasma membrane and stability. N-Glycosylated.
Disease relevance. Developmental and epileptic encephalopathy 118 (DEE118) [MIM:621250] A form of epileptic encephalopathy, a heterogeneous group of early-onset epilepsies characterized by refractory seizures, neurodevelopmental impairment, and poor prognosis. Development is normal prior to seizure onset, after which cognitive and motor delays become apparent. DEE118 is an autosomal dominant form characterized by early-onset refractory epilepsy, severe global developmental delay, intellectual disability, and severe motor and cortical visual impairment associated with progressive neurodegenerative brain changes. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Similarity. Belongs to the CSC1 (TC 1.A.17) family.

Enriched among interaction partners
Reactome pathways and GO biological processes over-represented among this gene’s 151 IntAct physical interaction partners (hypergeometric vs the genome-wide background, BH-FDR, gene-set size 15–500, ranked by fold). A functional readout of the neighbourhood — distinct from this gene’s own memberships above, and biased toward well-studied / hub proteins, so read it as themes rather than proof.
