Glycosylation defects in Gdt1p/TMEM165-deficient cells result from a defect in Golgi manganese (Mn2+) homeostasis; Mn2+ supplementation restores normal glycosylation in both yeast gdt1Δ mutants and TMEM165-depleted mammalian cells. GPP130 Mn2+ sensitivity is altered in TMEM165-depleted cells. |

Yeast Gdt1p (TMEM165 ortholog) has direct Ca2+ transport activity functioning as a Ca2+/H+ antiporter, demonstrated by heterologous expression in Lactococcus lactis; Gdt1p controls cellular calcium stores and is required for glycosylation at high external calcium concentrations, with glycosylation restored by Mn2+ supplementation. |

High Mn2+ concentrations cause lysosomal degradation of TMEM165. The glutamic acid at position E108 within the cytosolic ELGDK motif is crucial for Mn2+-induced degradation; the E108G variant is insensitive to Mn2+-induced degradation but does not abolish TMEM165 function in Golgi glycosylation. |

TMEM165 exists as splice-transcript isoforms (Short Form 129 aa and Long Form 259 aa in addition to full-length 324 aa); both isoforms localize to the endoplasmic reticulum (not Golgi), the Short Form forms homodimers and is expressed at low levels broadly but enriched in brain, and the Long Form is expressed only in the temporal lobe. These isoforms have different effects on glycosylation compared to wild-type protein. |

The rescue of Golgi N-glycosylation defects in TMEM165 KO cells by extracellular Mn2+ is mediated by thapsigargin- and cyclopiazonic acid-sensitive pumps (SERCA pumps), not by endocytosis or SPCA1. Overexpression of SERCA2b partially rescues LAMP2 glycosylation defect in TMEM165 KO cells. |

TMEM165 directly mediates Ca2+ and Mn2+ transport when expressed heterologously in yeast and Lactococcus lactis; expression in a yeast strain lacking Golgi Ca2+/Mn2+ transporters abrogates Mn2+-induced growth defects, excessive Mn2+ accumulation, and glycosylation defects. The E108G disease-causing mutation significantly reduces TMEM165 transport activity. |

TMEM165 abundance is directly dependent on SPCA1 function—specifically SPCA1's capacity to pump Mn2+ into the Golgi lumen. In SPCA1-deficient cells, TMEM165 is constitutively degraded in lysosomes; the SPCA1 Q747A mutant that favors Mn2+ pumping rescues TMEM165 abundance and Golgi localization. SERCA2b overexpression also rescues TMEM165 expression. |

TMEM165 is crucial in the lactating mammary gland for normal biosynthesis of lactose and affects milk calcium and manganese levels; conditional knockout mice show decreased lactose biosynthesis and only calcium and manganese levels are significantly lower in milk (normalized to protein), consistent with TMEM165 supplying Ca2+ and Mn2+ to the Golgi in exchange for H+. |

TMEM165 deficiency impairs elongation of chondroitin- and heparan-sulfate glycosaminoglycan chains of proteoglycans (producing shorter GAG chains) not by defects in Golgi elongating enzymes but by reduced Mn2+ cofactor availability; Mn2+ supplementation rescues the elongation defect. TMEM165 deficiency also impairs TGFβ and BMP signaling in chondrocytes and accelerates chondrocyte maturation/hypertrophy. |

Yeast Gdt1p transports H+ ions in exchange for Ca2+ and Mn2+ cations (antiporter mechanism); the direction of H+ transport can be reversed depending on physiological concentration gradients. Direct transport measurements were made by expressing Gdt1p in L. lactis and recording extracellular/intracellular pH during application of Ca2+, Mn2+ or H+ gradients; in vivo cytosolic and Golgi pH measurements confirmed Gdt1p influences Golgi pH. |

Mn2+ supplementation fully rescues the Mn2+ content in secretory pathway organelles of TMEM165-depleted cells and restores glycosylation. Both TMEM165 and SPCA1 are crucial for cellular Mn2+ homeostasis; cytosolic Mn2+ accumulation in TMEM165- and SPCA1-depleted cells is demonstrated by ICP-MS upon increasing Mn2+ concentrations. The Mn2+-detoxifying capacity through SPCA1 relies on the Mn2+-induced degradation mechanism of TMEM165. |

AlphaFold2 structural modeling of TMEM165, refined by molecular dynamics simulation with membrane lipids, reveals a two-fold repeat of three transmembrane helices where the conserved consensus motifs face each other to form a putative acidic cation-binding site at the cytosolic side. This model explains the functional impact of patient mutations including G304R, which is distant from the consensus motifs in sequence. |

A fraction of TMEM165 localizes to the lysosomal limiting membrane (in addition to its Golgi localization) where it imports calcium into the lysosomal lumen and mediates calcium-induced lysosomal proton leakage. This lysosomal TMEM165 activity accelerates cellular recovery from cytosolic calcium overload, enhancing cell survival, and causes significant cytosolic acidification. |
