Abstract:Background: The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) regulates critical processes, including lipid synthesis, which can be affected by transmembrane proteins localized in the ER membrane. One of them, the transmembrane protein 147 (TMEM147) has been recently implicated for its role in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) tumorigenesis, though the mechanisms remain unclear. Here, we investigated the role of TMEM147 in HCC and its underlying mechanisms.
Methods: Expression of TMEM147 was examined in human HCC and adjacent non-t… Show more
