NCIt definition : Human CD81 wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 11p15.5 and is approximately
20 kb in length. This allele, which encodes CD81 antigen protein, may be involved
in the regulation of both signal transduction and Hepatitis C infectivity.;
NCIt note : The CD81 gene is localized in the tumor-suppressor gene region and thus it is a candidate
gene for malignancies. (Entrez Gene);
