Tetraspanins - Gateways for Infection
1 Feb 2012
Abstract excerpt
The tetraspanins constitute a conserved superfamily of four-span membrane proteins that are widely distributed in multi-cellular organisms. A characteristic property of tetraspanins is their ability to form lateral associations with one another and with other membrane proteins, giving rise to tetraspanin enriched microdomains (TEM) that are involved in the molecular organisation of many membrane-associated...
