{"symbol":"TSPAN2","synonyms":["NET3","TSN2","TSPAN-2"],"name":"tetraspanin 2","description":"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. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms.
