Anti-TSPAN15

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. The use of alternate polyadenylation sites has been found for this gene. Protein function: Regulates maturation and trafficking of the transmembrane metalloprotease ADAM10 (PubMed:26686862, PubMed:30463011). Promotes ADAM10-mediated cleavage of CDH2. Negatively regulates ligand-induced Notch activity probably by regulating ADAM10 activity (PubMed:26686862). [The UniProt Consortium]
