  • localized in the Golgi apparatus (TMBIM1-3)
    • basic FUNCTION
  • belongs to a new cytoprotective family with evolutionarily conserved functions in the prevention of programmed cell death
  • plays an important role in the regulation of immune responses
  • endogenous inhibitor of FASLG-mediated neuronal death and it mediates the FASLG resistance of CNS differentiated neurons
  • play a role in apoptosis
  • reduce the CaČ&
    • 8314; content of the endoplasmic reticulum, and all but TMBIM5 also reduce the cytosolic resting CaČ&
    8314; concentration
