Gene information for TSPAN8 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID7103
Official gene symbolTSPAN8
Full nametetraspanin 8
Aliases,CO-029,TM4SF3,
Gene summaryThe 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. This encoded protein is a cell surface glycoprotein that is known to complex with integrins. This gene is expressed in different carcinomas. The use of alternate polyadenylation sites has been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq]
