  Function in Host
Acts as a regulator of the tubular endoplasmic reticulum (ER) network by modulating intracellular calcium homeostasis. Mechanistically, stimulates PKD2 calcium-dependent activity. Suppresses the RTN3/4-induced formation of the ER tubules. Positively regulates PERK-mediated and IRE1-mediatedunfolded protein response signaling. Plays anessential role in VEGF-mediated release of Ca (2+) from ER stores duringangiogenesis. Plays also a role in the modulation ofinnate immune signaling through the cGAS-STING pathway by interactingwith RNF26. Participates in lipid metabolism byacting as a downstream effector of the pyruvate kinase/PKM. Forms acomplex with RNF5 to facilitate polyubiquitination and subsequentdegradation of SCAP on the ER membrane. [1-4]

Function of This Protein During Virus Infection
Virus NameSARS-COV-2 Protein Function Pro-viral [5]
Infected TissueLung Infection Time7-9 Days
Infected CellCalu-3 Cells (Human epithelial cell line) Cellosaurus IDCVCL_0609 
Method DescriptionTo detect the role of host protein TMEM33 in viral infection, TMEM33 protein knockout Calu-3 Cells were infected with SARS-COV-2 for 7 - 9 Days , and the effects on infection was detected through CRISPR-based genome-wide gene-knockout screen.
ResultsIt is reported that knockout of TMEM33 leads to the decreased SARS-CoV-2 RNA levels compared with control group.
