Facts about Transmembrane protein 119.
May induce the commitment and differentiation of myoblasts to osteoblasts through an enhancement of BMP2 creation and interaction with the BMP-RUNX2 pathway (PubMed:21239498, PubMed:22579779). Upregulates the expression of ATF4 which plays a central role in osteoblast differentiation (PubMed:24362451).

Expressed in spermatocytes and spermatids in the developing testis (at protein level). Expressed in the brain, heart, lung, spleen, skeletal muscle, ovary, testis and epididymis (PubMed:26207632). Predominantly expressed in osteoblasts (PubMed:20025746).
