Background
TUSC5, IFITMD3, LOST1, Tumor suppressor candidate 5, Dispanin subfamily B member 1, DSPB1, Interferon-induced transmembrane domain-containing protein D3, Protein located at seventeen-p-thirteen point three 1TUSC5 (tumor suppressor candidate 5), also known as protein located at seventeen-p-thirteen point three 1, LOST1 or IFITMD3 (interferon-induced transmembrane domain-containing protein D3), is a 177 amino acid multi-pass membrane protein that belongs to the CD225 family. Thought to play a role in fat metabolism, TUSC5 is highly expressed in mammary gland, heart, smooth muscle, skeletal muscle and stomach, with lower levels found in lung and brain. The gene encoding TUSC5 maps to human chromosome 17, which comprises over 2. % of the human genome and encodes over 1,200 genes. Two key tumor suppressor genes are associated with chromosome 17, namely, p53 and BRCA1. Malfunction or loss of p53 expression is associated with malignant cell growth and Li-Fraumeni syndrome. Like p53, BRCA1 is directly involved in DNA repair, and is liked to predisposition of cancers of the ovary, colon, prostate gland and fallopian tubes.
