Gene: TSPAN9
Alternate names for this Gene: NET-5|NET5|PP1057
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. Alternatively spliced transcripts encoding the same protein have been identified.
Gene is located in Chromosome: 12
Location in Chromosome : 12p13.33-p13.32
Description of this Gene: tetraspanin 9
Type of Gene: protein-coding
