Gene: TSPAN13

Alternate names for this Gene: NET-6|NET6|TM4SF13

Gene 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.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 7
