The versatile roles of testrapanins in cancer from intracellular signaling to cell–cell communication: cell membrane proteins without ligands

Abstract The tetraspanins (TSPANs) are a family of four-transmembrane proteins with 33 members in mammals. They are variably expressed on the cell surface, various intracellular organelles and vesicles in nearly all cell types. Different from the majority of cell membrane proteins, TSPANs do not hav...
