Function | Structural component of specialized membrane microdomains known as tetraspanin-enriched microdomains (TERMs), which act as platforms for receptor clustering and signaling (PubMed:27180357, PubMed:36078095). Participates thereby in diverse biological functions such as cell signal transduction, migration and protein trafficking (PubMed:25761241). Promotes ADAM17-mediated TNF-alpha processing through recruitment of ADAM17 to tetraspanin-enriched micro-domains (TEMs) (PubMed:36078095). Forms a complex with RICTOR and integrin alpha3/ITGA3 to mediate mTORC2 activation and AKT1 phosphorylation leading to cell migration (PubMed:25761241). Reduces apoptosis and autophagy induced by high glucose levels through forming a complex with mTOR and RICTOR (PubMed:35904232). Contributes to the maintenance of intestinal epithelial barrier and plays a role in the regulation of intestine inflammation by switching interferon gamma receptor 1/IFNGR1 from clathrin-dependent to lipid raft-dependent endocytosis route to limit STAT1 activation magnitude and duration (PubMed:37204469). Acts as a modulator of the endothelin axis by associating with endothelin converting enzyme ECE1 and regulating its activity of conversion of the endothelin-1 precursor to endothelin (PubMed:37835445). |

Background
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. This encoded protein is a cell surface glycoprotein that is known to complex with integrins. This gene is expressed in different carcinomas. The use of alternate polyadenylation sites has been found for this gene.
