There are 33 mammalian tetraspanin proteins, each with characteristic structural features, including a conserved CCG motif in the large extracellular loop. Genetic evidence in fungi, worms ...

Existing research indicates that exosomal long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play a crucial regulatory role in the initiation and progression of tumors, involving various interactions such as lncRNA-miRNA ...

According to in vitro and in vivo studies, tetraspanin CD9 is not clearly associated with either tumor suppression or promotion. Further mechanistic experiments will elucidate the role of CD9 in ...
