About TM4SF5

Cytogenetic location: 17p13.2 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 17:4,771,886-4,783,211 (from NCBI)

This gene has 2 transcripts (splice variants), 188 orthologues and 5 paralogues. Biased expression in duodenum (RPKM 71.1), small intestine (RPKM 65.8) and 4 other tissues.

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 is highly similar in sequence and structure to transmembrane 4 superfamily member 1. It may play a role in cell proliferation, and overexpression of this protein may be associated with the uncontrolled growth of tumour cells. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
