TMEM238L (Transmembrane protein 238-like) is a gene. In the public catalogues the evidence so far is association rather than a proven role. Tied to Colorectal cancer.
May play a role in inducing apoptosis during endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and in the inhibition of proliferation and tumorigenicity.
Open Targets scores its association with cancer at 0.54 (direct and indirect evidence; datatypes literature 0.90, genetic association 0.67).
