Preparation and Storage

Background: TM4SF1/L6

TM4SF1 (Transmembrane 4 L6 family Member 1; also L6 and M3s1) is a 23-28 kDa member of the L6 tetraspanin family of molecules. It is expressed by fibroblasts, endothelial cells and a variety of tumor cells. TM4SF1 is embedded in both the plasma membrane and the membrane of late endocytic organelles. Here, it appears to be ubiquitinated, and to regulate endocytosis, an action that impacts effective cell migration. TM4SF1 is reported to interact with alpha 5 and beta 1 integrins, and this may impact cell motility. It also suppresses the expression of CD63 and CD82, two molecules that impede cell mobility. Mouse TM4SF1 is a 202 amino acid (aa) 4‑transmembrane (TM) glycoprotein. It contains a short N-terminal cytoplasmic region (aa 1-9), followed by four TM regions and another C-terminal cytoplasmic region (aa 183-202). There is one potential isoform variant that shows an alternative start site at Met60. Over aa 116-161, mouse TM4SF1 shares 73% and 96% aa sequence identity with human and rat TM4SF1, respectively.
