Transmembrane protein 61 (TMEM61) is a protein that is encoded by the TMEM61 gene in humans. It is located on the first chromosome in humans[5]and is highly expressed in the intestinal regions predominantly the kidney, adrenal gland and pituitary tissues.[6] The protein, unlike other transmembrane protein in the region does not promote cancer growth.[7] However, the TMEM61 protein when inhibited by secondary factors restricts normal activity in the kidney.[8] The human protein shares many Orthologs and has been prevalent on Earth for millions of years.
