Function

The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the transmembrane 4 superfamily, also known as the tetraspanin family. These are cell-surface proteins that are characterized by the presence of four hydrophobic domains. The proteins mediate signal transduction events that play a role in the regulation of cell development, activation, growth and motility.

Homology

Holomogy with Pan troglodytes (100%); Canis lupus familiaris (89%); Mus musculus (82%), Rattus norvegicus (82%), Gallus gallus (70%).

Entity name
Cervical Cancer
Disease
Cervical cancer is a malignant carcinoma or the cervix, typically composed of squamous cells. Most studies have found that human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is responsible for virtually all cases of cervical cancer.
Prognosis
Prognosis depends on the stage of the cancer. The 5 year survival rate with treatment is 80 to 90% in patients with stage I disease and 50 to 65% in patients with stage II disease. 25 to 35% of women with stage III cancer and 15% or fewer of those with stage IV cancer are alive after 5 years. Prognosis drops dramatically with tumour metastasis. Thirty-five percent of patients with invasive cervical cancer have persistent or recurrent disease after treatment.
Entity name
Hepatocellular Carcinoma
Disease
Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC) is a malignancy of the liver. Most cases of HCC are secondary to either a hepatitis B or C infection or cirrhosis.
Prognosis
The prognosis of HCC is dependent on many factors, including tumour size, tumour staging, the involvement of liver vessels, the presence of extrahepatic metastases and the vascularisation of the tumor.
