transmembrane 6 superfamily member 1, member 2, and similar proteins This family includes transmembrane 6 superfamily members 1 (TM6SF1) and 2 (TM6SF2), and similar proteins. TM6SF1 is a widely expressed lysosomal transmembrane protein that may be suitable as a lysosomal marker. Polymorphism of its paralog, TM6SF2, has been associated with the risk for hepatocellular carcinoma, and a variant of the gene has been found to impact the processing of lipids in the liver and the small intestine, causing non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).
