1.A.113. The Small Integral Membrane Protein (SIMP) Family
Members of the Small Integral Membrane Protein (SIMP) Family usually have just one TMS, but one of them (TC# 1.A.113.1.3) has two TMSs due to an internal duplication. They may be homologous to proteins of the same sizes and topologies as the members of families 1.A.50, 1.A.95 and 1.A.100.

Endoregulin, ELN, also called small integral membrane protein-6, SMIM6, is of 62 aas and 1 TMS. This protein and the other members of the phospholamban family have been designated "micropeptides". Micropeptides function as regulators of calcium-dependent signaling in muscle. The sarco/endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ ATPase (SERCA TC# 3.A.3.2.7), is the membrane pump that promotes muscle relaxation by taking up Ca2+ into the sarcoplasmic reticulum. It is directly inhibited by three known muscle-specific micropeptides: myoregulin (MLN), phospholamban (PLN) and sarcolipin (SLN). In non muscle cells, there are two other such micopeptides, endoregulin (ELN) and "another-regulin (ALN) (Anderson et al. 2016). Endoregulin is also known as "small integral membrane protein-6" (SMIM6) while ALN is also known as Protein C4 orf3 (C4orf3). These proteins share key amino acids with their muscle-specific counterparts and function as direct inhibitors of SERCA pump activity. The distribution of transcripts encoding ELN and ALN mirrored that of SERCA isoform-encoding transcripts in nonmuscle cell types. Thus, these two proteins are additional members of the SERCA-inhibitory micropeptide family, revealing a conserved mechanism for the control of intracellular Ca2+ dynamics in both muscle and nonmuscle cell types (Anderson et al. 2016).
