Description
Product Characteristics:
TSPAN5 is a member of the transmembrane 4 superfamily, also known as the tetraspanin family. Most of these members are cell-surface proteins that are characterized by the presence of four hydrophobic domains. The proteins mediate signal transduction events that play a role in the regulation of cell development, activation, growth and motility.
Subcellular location: Cell membrane
Synonyms: NET 4, TSPAN 5, NET4, Tetraspan 5, Tetraspan-5, Tetraspan NET 4, Tetraspan TM4SF, Tetraspanin 5, Tetraspanin5, Tetraspan5, Tspaw5, TM4SF9, Transmembrane 4 superfamily member 8, Transmembrane 4 superfamily member 9.
Target Information: The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the transmembrane 4 superfamily, also known as the tetraspanin family. Most of these members are cell-surface proteins that are characterized by the presence of four hydrophobic domains. The proteins mediate signal transduction events that play a role in the regulation of cell development, activation, growth and motility. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
