OverviewNCBI Gene
Predicted to be involved in several processes, including negative regulation of canonical Wnt signaling pathway; negative regulation of osteoblast differentiation; and positive regulation of cell differentiation. Predicted to act upstream of or within regulation of ATP-dependent activity. Predicted to be located in membrane. Predicted to be active in endoplasmic reticulum.

Antibody and autoantibody relevanceSeroatlas analysis
Seroatlas reads TMEM64 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against TMEM64 could matter depends on whether native TMEM64 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.
TMEM64 is annotated as predominantly intracellular. Intracellular proteins are common autoantibody markers, becoming visible to the immune system after cell injury or altered processing, but are usually markers of disease rather than direct drivers.
Annotation status
The present source text does not explicitly label TMEM64 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
