TSPAN5 tetraspanin 5 [ Homo sapiens (human) ]
Source: NCBI Gene (ID 10098)
Source: NCBI Gene (ID 10098)
Symbol: TSPAN5
Full name: tetraspanin 5
Gene type: protein coding
RefSeq status: REVIEWED
Organism: Homo sapiens
Also known as: NET-4; NET4; 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]
