Abstract excerpt
CD151 is a member of the tetraspanin family that is involved in cellular processes including cell adhesion. The protein is expressed in a variety of tissues including vascular endothelium and epidermis, and has been shown to be a component of hemidesmosomes. Mutations in genes encoding other hemidesmosomal proteins give rise to a range of human disorders, characterized by fragility of the skin and/or mucous...
