TMEM127 (Transmembrane protein 127) is a gene. In the public catalogues the evidence so far is association rather than a proven role. Tied to Neuroendocrine tumours and Melanoma.
Controls cell proliferation acting as a negative regulator of TOR signalling pathway mediated by mTORC1. May act as a tumour suppressor.
Open Targets scores its association with cancer at 0.73 (direct and indirect evidence; datatypes genetic literature 0.79, literature 0.19, genetic association 0.59, somatic mutation 0.93, animal model 0.47).
