Transmembrane protein 8A is a protein that in humans is encoded by the TMEM8A gene (16p13.3.). Evolutionarily TMEM8A has recently emerged as it is found mainly in primates and mammals and has few orthologs in more distantly related species. TMEM8A contains five transmembrane domains and one EGF like domain which are all highly conserved in the ortholog space.
