Cell growth

Cell growth refers to an increase in the total mass of a cell, including both cytoplasmic, nuclear and organelle volume.

See Tetraspanin and Cell growth

Cysteine

Cysteine (symbol Cys or C) is a semiessential proteinogenic amino acid with the formula.

Eukaryote

The eukaryotes constitute the domain of Eukarya or Eukaryota, organisms whose cells have a membrane-bound nucleus.

See Tetraspanin and Eukaryote

Glycoprotein IIb/IIIa

In biochemistry and medicine, glycoprotein IIb/IIIa (GPIIb/IIIa, also known as integrin αIIbβ3) is an integrin complex found on platelets.

List of human clusters of differentiation

The following is a list of human clusters of differentiation (or CD) molecules.

Membrane protein

Membrane proteins are common proteins that are part of, or interact with, biological membranes.

See Tetraspanin and Membrane protein

Metastasis

Metastasis is a pathogenic agent's spread from an initial or primary site to a different or secondary site within the host's body; the term is typically used when referring to metastasis by a cancerous tumor.

See Tetraspanin and Metastasis

Multicellular organism

A multicellular organism is an organism that consists of more than one cell, unlike unicellular organisms.

See Tetraspanin and Multicellular organism

N-linked glycosylation

N-linked glycosylation is the attachment of an oligosaccharide, a carbohydrate consisting of several sugar molecules, sometimes also referred to as glycan, to a nitrogen atom (the amide nitrogen of an asparagine (Asn) residue of a protein), in a process called N-glycosylation, studied in biochemistry.

See Tetraspanin and N-linked glycosylation

Palmitoylation

Palmitoylation is the covalent attachment of fatty acids, such as palmitic acid, to cysteine (S-palmitoylation) and less frequently to serine and threonine (O-palmitoylation) residues of proteins, which are typically membrane proteins.
