TM4SF4

TM4SF4, also known as transmembrane 4 L six family member 4, is a protein - coding gene. The encoded protein is a member of the transmembrane 4 superfamily, also called the tetraspanin family. These proteins are involved in various cellular processes through their interaction with other proteins. They are thought to play a role in cell adhesion, motility, and signal transduction.
TM4SF4 is associated with several signaling pathways, including those related to cell growth and metastasis. Dysregulation of TM4SF4 has been linked to diseases such as cancer. Currently, research is ongoing to explore its potential as a therapeutic target, and some pre - clinical studies are evaluating drugs that can modulate its activity.
