Description
CD9, a member of the tetraspanin or transmembrane 4 super family (TM4SF, CD37, CD53, CD63, CD81, CD82, etc) of proteins, is widely distributed on the surface of a variety of hematopoietic and epithelial cell types. Several members of the tetraspanin family, including CD9, form noncovalent associations with integrins, particularly β1 integrins. CD9 and other tetraspanins have been postulated to participate in the regulation of cell growth, motility, and signaling via their physical association with integrins.Synonyms: 5H9 antigen, Cell growth-inhibiting gene 2 protein, GIG2, Leukocyte antigen MIC3, MIC3, Motility-related protein, TSPAN29, Tetraspanin-29, p24
