Pax5 mediates the transcriptional activation of the CD81 gene
Abstract CD81 is an integral membrane protein of the tetraspanin family and forms complexes with a variety of other cell surface membrane proteins. CD81 is involved in cell migration and B cell activation. However, the mechanism of the transcriptional regulation of the CD81 gene remains unclear. Her...

Abstract CD81 is an integral membrane protein of the tetraspanin family and forms complexes with a variety of other cell surface membrane proteins.
