TSPAN31
Description
The TSPAN31 (tetraspanin 31) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 12.
Tetraspanin-31 is a protein found in humans that is encoded by the TSPAN31 gene. It belongs to the transmembrane 4 superfamily, also known as the tetraspanin family. These proteins are typically found on cell surfaces and are characterized by four hydrophobic domains. They play a role in cell development, activation, growth, and movement by mediating signal transduction events. TSPAN31 is thought to be involved in growth-related cellular processes. This gene has been linked to tumorigenesis and osteosarcoma.
TSPAN31 is also known as SAS.
