TMBIM4

Transmembrane BAX inhibitor motif-containing protein 4 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the TMBIM4 gene.[4][5][6] It is also known as human Golgi anti-apoptotic protein (hGAAP) due to its function and sub-cellular localization.

Function

Human GAAP is a protein present in the Golgi that helps regulate apoptosis, a form of programmed cell death. By regulating the fluxes of Ca⁺², an increase of GAAP can help prevent apoptosis.[7][8] GAAP is also involved in promoting cell migration[9] and has been identified as a novel Golgi cation channel.[10] Other GAAPs can be found in all eucaryotes analyzed and in some bacteria. A viral GAAP (vGAAP) can also be found in some strains of vaccinia virus, the live vaccine used to eradicate smallpox.
