ID:CD9_HUMAN DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=CD9 antigen; AltName: Full=5H9 antigen; AltName: Full=Cell growth-inhibiting gene 2 protein; AltName: Full=Leukocyte antigen MIC3; AltName: Full=Motility-related protein; Short=MRP-1; AltName: Full=Tetraspanin-29; Short=Tspan-29; AltName: Full=p24; AltName: CD_antigen=CD9; FUNCTION: Involved in platelet activation and aggregation. Regulates paranodal junction formation. Involved in cell adhesion, cell motility and tumor metastasis. Required for sperm-egg fusion. SUBUNIT: Forms both disulfide-linked homodimers and higher homooligomers as well as heterooligomers with other members of the tetraspanin family. Associates with CR2/CD21 and with PTGFRN/CD9P1. Interacts directly with IGSF8. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Expressed by a variety of hematopoietic and epithelial cells. PTM: Protein exists in three forms with molecular masses between 22 and 27 kDa, and is known to carry covalently linked fatty acids. SIMILARITY: Belongs to the tetraspanin (TM4SF) family.

The RNAfold program from the Vienna RNA Package is used to perform the secondary structure predictions and folding calculations. The estimated folding energy is in kcal/mol. The more negative the energy, the more secondary structure the RNA is likely to have.

The pictures above may be empty if there is no ModBase structure for the protein. The ModBase structure frequently covers just a fragment of the protein. You may be asked to log onto ModBase the first time you click on the pictures. It is simplest after logging in to just click on the picture again to get to the specific info on that model.
Orthologous Genes in Other Species
Orthologies between human, mouse, and rat are computed by taking the best BLASTP hit, and filtering out non-syntenic hits. For more distant species reciprocal-best BLASTP hits are used. Note that the absence of an ortholog in the table below may reflect incomplete annotations in the other species rather than a true absence of the orthologous gene.
