SMIM11A

SMIM11A, or small integral membrane protein 11A, is a protein which in humans is encoded by the C21orf51 gene.[1][2][3]

Gene

Locus

SMIM11A is located at 21q22.11 on the plus strand of chromosome 21 and has 4 exons.[3] SMIM11A is on the sense strand and spans from base 34,375,450 to 34,402,777.

Expression of SMIM11A in human tissue samples

Expression

The expression of SMIM11A is highest in the brain, thyroid, and stomach, though it is also expressed in many other tissues.[3]

mRNA

There are no known transcript variants or isoforms of SMIM11A.[4]

Protein

The SMIM11A protein is 58 amino acids long. The theoretical molecular weight of this protein is 6kDa and the theoretical pI is 9.[5] The protein is localized in the cytoplasm and mitochondria, as well as focal adhesion points between the cells.[6][7]

Domains, Motifs, and Post-translational Modifications

SMIM11A contains a transmembrane domain.[8]. The protein also holds a dileucine motif. Post-translational modifications include ubiquitylation site, as well as two phosphorylated sites, one on a threonine and one on a serine[9][10]

Secondary Structure and Tertiary Structure

The protein is composed mostly of alpha-helices.[11] The N-terminus of SMIM11A sticks out into the extracellular matrix, while the C-terminal end is located within the cytoplasm of the cell.[12]
