TM4SF1

Transmembrane 4 L6 family member 1 is a is_associated_with::protein that in humans is encoded by the TM4SF1 is_associated_with::gene.

Function
The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the transmembrane 4 superfamily, also known as the is_associated_with::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 is_associated_with::antigen and is highly expressed in different is_associated_with::carcinomas.
