Gene: TSPAN5
Alternate names for this Gene: NET-4|NET4|TM4SF9|TSPAN-5
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: 4
Location in Chromosome : 4q23
Description of this Gene: tetraspanin 5
Type of Gene: protein-coding
