NCIt definition : Human CD63 wild-type allele is located within 12q12-q13 and is approximately 4 kb
in length. This allele, which encodes CD63 antigen protein, plays a role in signal
transduction and may play a role in growth regulation. Mutation of this gene is associated
with tumor progression and deficiency of the protein is associated with Hermansky-Pudlak
syndrome.;
NCIt note : Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different protein
isoforms. (RefSeq);
