Product Details
CD81, also known as TAPA-1, is a member of the transmembrane 4 protein superfamily (TM4SF). It is widely expressed in eukaryotic cell membranes, forms complexes with other quad-transmembrane proteins, integrins, co-receptors, MHC Class I and Class II molecules, and affects the adhesion, morphology, activation, proliferation and differentiation of B and T cells[1, 2]. In muscle, CD81 promotes cell fusion and muscle tube maintenance. CD81 is also a highly characterized hepatitis C virus receptor, which can promote the virus to invade target cells[3].
