Gene Gene information from NCBI Gene database.
Entrez ID 7103
Gene name Tetraspanin 8
Gene symbol TSPAN8
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
CO-029TM4SF3
Chromosome 12
Chromosome location 12q21.1
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
