Gene information for TSPAN4 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID7106
Official gene symbolTSPAN4
Full nametetraspanin 4
Aliases,NAG-2,NAG2,TETRASPAN,TM4SF7,TSPAN-4,
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 and is similar in sequence to its family member CD53 antigen. It is known to complex with integrins and other transmembrane 4 superfamily proteins. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified. [provided by RefSeq]
