Target Details for CD81

Target: CD81

Alternative Name: CD81

Background: CD81 Molecule,CD81 (TAPA-1), a member of the tetraspanin family, is expressed on virtually all nucleated cells, but above all on germinal center B cells. CD81 forms complexes with other tetraspanin proteins, integrins, coreceptors, MHC class I and II molecules, and influences adhesion, morphology, activation, proliferation and differentiation of B, T and other cells, e.g. in muscles CD81 promotes cell fusion and myotube maintenance. CD81 has been also identified as a receptor for the hepatitis C virus.,S5.7, CVID6, TAPA1, TSPAN28

Gene ID: 975

UniProt: P60033
