Full name: tetraspanin 1

Gene type: protein coding

RefSeq status: REVIEWED

Also known as: NET1; TM4C; TM4SF

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]
