Bio Background |
The protein encoded by this gene is a member of thetransmembrane 4 superfamily, also known as the tetraspanin family.Most of these members are cell-surface proteins that arecharacterized by the presence of four hydrophobic domains. Theproteins mediate signal transduction events that play a role in theregulation of cell development, activation, growth and motility. |
