TSPAN12 tetraspanin 12

Gene ID: 23554, updated on 2-Nov-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: EVR5; NET2; NET-2; TM4SF12

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]
