Gene ID: 10098, updated on 10-Oct-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: NET4; NET-4; TM4SF9; TSPAN-5

Summary

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]
