Background: TMEM49
TMEM49/VMP1 was first implicated in pancreatitis and its overexpression, together with KRAS oncogene activation, leads to development of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) (3). Aside from pancreatitis, TMEM49/VMP1 is also associated with a number of other pathologies including cancer, inflammatory bowel disease, and, potentially, neurodegenerative disorders such as Parkinson's Disease (PD) and Alzheimer's Disease (AD) (1). It is suggested that TMEM49/VMP1 deficiency in neurons results in disrupted autophagy and protein aggregation, increased ER-membrane contacts, and dysfunctional mitochondrial homeostasis, all of which contribute to neurodegeneration (1).
