TSPAN7 tetraspanin 7

Gene ID: 7102, updated on 11-Apr-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: A15; MXS1; CD231; MRX58; CCG-B7; TM4SF2; XLID58; TALLA-1; TM4SF2b; DXS1692E

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. This encoded protein is a cell surface glycoprotein and may have a role in the control of neurite outgrowth. It is known to complex with integrins. This gene is associated with X-linked cognitive disability and neuropsychiatric diseases such as Huntington's chorea, fragile X syndrome and myotonic dystrophy. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
