CKLF like MARVEL transmembrane domain-containing 4 (i.e. CMTM4), formerly termed chemokine-like factor superfamily 4 (i.e. CKLFSF4), is a small transmembrane protein which passes the plasma membrane four times. It has 3 known isoforms, the CMTM4-v1 to CMTM4-v3 proteins. [1] Protein isoforms are variant products that are made by alternative splicing of a single gene. The gene for the CMTM4 isoforms is located in band 22 on the long (i.e. "q") arm of chromosome 16. [2] The CMTM4 gene and its 3 isoform proteins belong to the CKLF-like MARVEL transmembrane domain-containing family of structurally and functionally related genes and proteins. [3] CMTM4-v1 and CMTM4-v2 are widely expressed in multiple human tissue while CMTM4-v3 has been detected only in the kidney and placental tissues. [4] [5]

The Cancer Genome Atlas indicates that CMTM4 protein is frequently reduced in colorectal cancer and its high expression is associated with increased overall survival rates in individuals with this cancer. [6] CMTM4 protein was also found to be greatly reduced in the tissues of clear cell renal cell carcinoma compared to nearby normal renal (i.e. kidney) tissues and the forced overexpression of this protein in 786-O cells (a renal cancer cell line) inhibited their growth in culture as well as in a xenograph nude mouse model. [7] Finally, CMTM4 protein levels were lower in several brain cancers, such as glioblastomas, [7] [8] neuroblastomas, and medulloblastomas, compared to their levels in nearby normal, non-tumorous brain tissues. [7] [9] These studies suggest CMTM4 may act to suppress these malignancies. Further studies are needed to confirm these relationships and determine if CMTM4 protein can be used as a marker for the severity of these malignancies and/or serve as a therapeutic target for treating them.

CMTM4 in IL-17A signaling

Recently, CMTM4 has been identified to play a critical role in IL-17A signaling. [11] The IL-17 receptor consists of two subunits: IL-17 receptor subunit A and C (IL-17RA, IL-17RC). [12] [13] CMTM4 was reported to be associated with the transmembrane domain of IL-17RC. This association proved to be critical for IL-17 signaling as CMTM4 knockout cells were unresponsive to IL-17A stimulation. Interestingly, lack of CMTM4 in cells caused an overall decrease in IL-17RC surface expression and impaired IL-17RC glycosylation. Altogether, CMTM4 regulates IL-17RC glycosylation status and its cellular localization. [11]

The GABAA beta-2 subunit is a protein that in humans is encoded by the GABRB2 gene. It combines with other subunits to form the ionotropic GABAA receptors. GABA system is the major inhibitory system in the brain, and its dominant GABAA receptor subtype is composed of α1, β2, and γ2 subunits with the stoichiometry of 2:2:1, which accounts for 43% of all GABAA receptors. Alternative splicing of the GABRB2 gene leads at least to four isoforms, viz. β2-long (β2L) and β2-short. Alternatively spliced variants displayed similar but non-identical electrophysiological properties. GABRB2 is subjected to positive selection and known to be both an alternative splicing and a recombination hotspot; it is regulated via epigenetic regulation including imprinting and gene and promoter methylation GABRB2 has been associated with a number of neuropsychiatric disorders, and found to display altered expression in cancer.

Functional IL-17R is a transmembrane receptor complex usually consisting of one IL-17RA, which is a founding member of the family, and second other family subunit, thus forming heteromeric receptor binding different ligands. IL-17A, a founding member of IL-17 ligand family binds to heteromeric IL-17RA/RC receptor complex. IL-17RB binds preferentially IL-17B and IL-17E and heteromeric IL-17RA/RE complex binds IL-17C.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">CMTM3</span> Protein-coding gene in the species Homo sapiens

CKLF-like MARVEL transmembrane domain-containing protein 3, also termed chemokine-like factor superfamily 3, is a member of the CKLF-like MARVEL transmembrane domain-containing family of proteins. In humans, CMTM2 protein is encoded by the CMTM3 gene located in band 22.1 on the long arm of chromosome 16. This protein is expressed in a wide range of tissues, including fetal tissues. It is highly expressed in the male reproductive system, particularly testicular tissues and may play a role in the development of this tissue. It is also highly expressed in the immune system including circulating blood cells, i.e. B lymphocytes, CD4+ T lymphocytes, and monocytes. However, CMTM3 protein is weakly expressed or unexpressed in the malignant tissues of several types of cancers. In many but not all of theses cancers, this decreased or lack of expression appears due to methylation of the GpC islands in the promoter region, and thereby the silencing, of the CMTM3 gene.

Transmembrane protein 171 (TMEM171) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the TMEM171 gene.

The CKLF-like MARVEL transmembrane domain-containing family (CMTM), previously termed the chemokine-like factor superfamily (CKLFSF), consists of 9 proteins, some of which have various isoforms due to alternative splicing of their respective genes. These proteins along with their isoforms are:

CKLF-like MARVEL transmembrane domain-containing 5 (CMTM5), previously termed chemokine-like factor superfamily 5, designates any one of the six protein isoforms encoded by six different alternative splices of its gene, CMTM5; CMTM5-v1 is the most studied of these isoforms. The CMTM5 gene is located in band 11.2 on the long arm of chromosome 14.

CKLF like MARVEL transmembrane domain-containing 8, previously termed chemokine-like factor superfamily 8 has at least two isoforms, the CMTM8 and CMTM8-v2 proteins. Protein isoforms are variant products that are made by the alternative splicing of a single gene. The gene for these isoforms, CMTM8, is located in band 22 on the short arm of chromosome 3. The CMTM8 gene and its CMTM8 and CMTM8-v2 proteins belong to the CKLF-like MARVEL transmembrane domain-containing family of structurally and functionally related genes and proteins. The CMTM8 protein is the full-length and predominant product of the CMTM8 gene. This protein is expressed in a wide range of normal adult and fetal tissues while relatively little is known about the CMTM8-v2 protein. Studies suggest that the CMTM8 protein may be involved in the development of various cancers.

CKLF like MARVEL transmembrane domain-containing 1, formerly termed chemokine-like factor superfamily 1, has 23 known isoforms, the CMTM1-v1 to CMTM1-v23 proteins. Protein isoforms are variant products that are made by alternative splicing of a single gene. The gene for these isoforms, CMTM1, is located in band 22 on the long arm of chromosome 16. The CMTM1 gene and its 23 isoforms belong to the CKLF-like MARVEL transmembrane domain-containing family of structurally and functionally related genes and proteins. CMTM1 proteins are weakly express in a wide range of normal tissues but are far more highly expressed in normal testes as well as the malignant cells of certain types of cancer.
