TSPAN3
Protein-coding gene in humans
Tetraspanin-3 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the TSPAN3 gene .[ 5]
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. Two alternative transcripts encoding different isoforms have been described.[ 5]
