The function of Ensembl gene identifier ENSG00000141524 (TMC6, transmembrane channel like 6) is as follows. Acts as a regulatory protein involved in the regulation of numerous cellular processes (PubMed:18158319, PubMed:30068544, PubMed:32917726). Together with its homolog TMC8/EVER2, forms a complex with CIB1 in lymphocytes and keratynocytes where TMC6 and TMC8 stabilize CIB1 and reciprocally (PubMed:30068544, PubMed:32917726). Together with TMC8, also forms a complex with and activates zinc transporter ZNT1 at the ER membrane of keratynocytes, thereby facilitating zinc uptake into the ER (PubMed:18158319). Down-regulates the activity of transcription factors induced by zinc and cytokines (PubMed:18158319). Also plays a role in thermal sensation by inhibiting the M-channel (KCNQ2-KCNQ3 channel) current in primary sensory neurons (By similarity). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q7TN60, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18158319, ECO:0000269|PubMed:30068544, ECO:0000269|PubMed:32917726}.
