Function | Phospholipid scramblase involved in lipid homeostasis and membrane dynamics processes (PubMed:34015269, PubMed:33929485, PubMed:33850023). Has phospholipid scramblase activity toward cholesterol and phosphatidylserine, as well as phosphatidylethanolamine and phosphatidylcholine (PubMed:34015269, PubMed:33929485, PubMed:33850023). Required for autophagosome formation: participates in early stages of autophagosome biogenesis at the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane by reequilibrating the leaflets of the ER as lipids are extracted by ATG2 (ATG2A or ATG2B) to mediate autophagosome assembly (PubMed:30093494, PubMed:30126924, PubMed:30933966, PubMed:34015269, PubMed:33929485, PubMed:34043740, PubMed:33850023). In addition to autophagy, involved in other processes in which phospholipid scramblase activity is required (PubMed:33850023). Required for normal motor neuron development (By similarity). |
Cellular Location | Endoplasmic reticulum membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Endomembrane system Note=Localized to specific membrane structures termed mitochondria- associated membranes (MAMs) which connect the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and the mitochondria. |

Background
TMEM41B Antibody: TMEM41B is required for autophagosome formation and participates in early stages of autophagosome biogenesis at the ER membrane probably via mobilization of neutral lipids from lipid droplets. TMRM41B is a critical host factor required for infection by human coronaviruses SARS-CoV-2, HCoV-OC43, HCoV-NL63, and HCoV-229E, as well as all flaviviruses tested such as Zika virus and Yellow fever virus. It is required post-entry of the virus to facilitate the ER membrane remodeling necessary to form replication organelles.
