AB  - Tetraspanins (TSPAN) are a family of (33 in humans) scaffold proteins consisting of the name-giving four membrane-spanning domains, two extracellular loops, and an intracellular N- and C-terminus. By forming ‘tetraspanin-enriched microdomains’ they participate in organizing the plasma membrane and serve as multipurpose adapters. Some can be found ubiquitously in most cells, while others are specific to certain cell types. On a subcellular level, enrichment in distinct membrane-associated organelles has been documented for several members (Termini and Gillette, 2017).
