TSPAN9 tetraspanin 9

Gene ID: 10867, updated on 2-Nov-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: NET5; NET-5; PP1057

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. Alternatively spliced transcripts encoding the same protein have been identified. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2009]
