Biological function summary
The CD9 protein is integral to cell adhesion migration and fusion. It forms complexes with other tetraspanins and proteins like EWI-2 and EWI-F contributing to cellular signaling and membrane compartmentalization. Additionally CD9 plays an important role in the formation and secretion of exosomes tiny vesicles emitted by cells that mediate cell-to-cell communication. These exosomes can be analyzed using tools like exosome assays and detection kits that target CD9 proteins.
Pathways
CD9 is involved in the regulation of immune response and cell morphology. It participates in pathways such as the integrin signaling pathway and the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) signaling pathway. CD9 modulates these interactions by associating with proteins such as integrins and other members of the tetraspanin family influencing cellular movement and proliferation.
