关于 TSPAN8

功能概要

由该基因编码的蛋白质是跨膜 4 超家族的成员，也称为四跨膜蛋白家族。这些成员中的大多数是细胞表面蛋白，其特征在于存在四个疏水结构域。这些蛋白质介导在细胞发育、活化、生长和运动的调节中起作用的信号转导事件。这种编码的蛋白质是已知与整合素复合的细胞表面糖蛋白。该基因在不同的癌中表达。已发现该基因使用替代聚腺苷酸化位点。[RefSeq 提供，2008 年 7 月]

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. This encoded protein is a cell surface glycoprotein that is known to complex with integrins. This gene is expressed in different carcinomas. The use of alternate polyadenylation sites has been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
