MeSH definition : A large superfamily of cell surface membrane proteins characterized by their four
transmembrane domains. They play a role in a variety of processes such as cellular
adhesion and motility. They may be involved in the organization of cell surface MEMBRANE
MICRODOMAINS that regulate the activation of LEUKOCYTES.;
MeSH synonym : Tetraspanin;
MeSH annotation : general or unspecified; prefer specifics;
