TSPAN13 - tetraspanin 13

Entrez Gene Name: tetraspanin 13
Synonyms: 1100001I23Rik, FLJ22934, MGC109170, NET-6, TM4SF13, TRANSMEMBRANE4, TSPAN13

Gene Summary

  • Human (27075): 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]
