TSPAN2 tetraspanin 2

Gene ID: 10100, updated on 10-Oct-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: NET3; TSN2; TSPAN-2

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. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2015]
