关于 TSPAN3

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。已发现该基因使用替代聚腺苷酸化位点。已经描述了编码不同亚型的多个替代转录本。[RefSeq 提供，2009 年 12 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. The use of alternate polyadenylation sites has been found for this gene. Multiple alternative transcripts encoding different isoforms have been described. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2009]
