TM4SF4 Antibody / Transmembrane 4 L6 family member 4 Antibody targets a protein with important roles in cellular biology. Transmembrane 4 L6 family member 4 (TM4SF4) is a four-pass membrane protein belonging to the L6 family of tetraspan-like proteins. Its membrane-spanning architecture positions it to participate in interactions at the cell surface, where proteins coordinate adhesion, signaling and communication with the extracellular environment. Although it resembles tetraspanins in overall topology, TM4SF4 belongs to a distinct family and should not automatically be assigned every function established for classical tetraspanins.
TM4SF4 has been investigated in epithelial biology, including settings involving cell growth, differentiation and tissue remodeling. Its distribution within membranes and interactions with neighboring proteins may affect the organization of signaling assemblies. Studies in selected cancer models have reported associations between TM4SF4 expression and changes in proliferation or invasive behavior, but the direction and strength of those relationships can depend on cellular context. Expression differences alone do not establish that TM4SF4 drives a particular disease process.
Membrane proteins with several transmembrane helices can influence cellular responses through local protein organization rather than through intrinsic enzymatic activity. This distinction is relevant to TM4SF4, for which a catalytic function has not been established. Understanding its biological role requires identifying its binding partners, the conditions that regulate its abundance and the downstream pathways affected when its expression changes. Such work can also help separate functions shared with related L6-family proteins from those unique to TM4SF4.
NSJ Bioreagents offers this TM4SF4 Antibody to support research into the organization and regulation of TM4SF4-associated membrane signaling. Better definition of its molecular partners may clarify how this compact surface protein participates in epithelial cell behavior and tissue-specific responses.
