other info1 :
Biological Significance: CD81 (Cluster of Differentiation 81), is a protein which in humans is encoded by the CD81 gene. It is also known as 26 kDa cell surface protein, Target of the antiproliferative antibody 1 (TAPA-1) and Tetraspanin-28 (Tspan-28). CD81 is expressed in hemopoietic, endothelial and epithelial cells. It is absent from erythrocytes, platelets and neutrophils.
other info2 :
Biohazard Information: This product contains sodium azide as preservative. Although the amount of sodium azide is very small appropriate care must be taken when handling. Immunogen: CD81 antibody was raised in mouse using OCI-LY8 cells aggregated by another CD81 antibody as the immunogen.

ncbi summary :
The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the transmembrane 4 superfamily, also known as the tetraspanin family. Most of these members are cell-surface proteins that are characterized by the presence of four hydrophobic domains. The proteins mediate signal transduction events that play a role in the regulation of cell development, activation, growth and motility. This encoded protein is a cell surface glycoprotein that is known to complex with integrins. This protein appears to promote muscle cell fusion and support myotube maintenance. Also it may be involved in signal transduction. This gene is localized in the tumor-suppressor gene region and thus it is a candidate gene for malignancies. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2014]
uniprot summary :
CD81: May play an important role in the regulation of lymphoma cell growth. Interacts with a 16-kDa Leu-13 protein to form a complex possibly involved in signal transduction. May act as the viral receptor for HCV. Defects in CD81 are the cause of immunodeficiency common variable type 6 (CVID6); also called antibody deficiency due to CD81 defect. CVID6 is a primary immunodeficiency characterized by antibody deficiency, hypogammaglobulinemia, recurrent bacterial infections and an inability to mount an antibody response to antigen. The defect results from a failure of B-cell differentiation and impaired secretion of immunoglobulins; the numbers of circulating B-cells is usually in the normal range, but can be low. Belongs to the tetraspanin (TM4SF) family. Protein type: Membrane protein, integral; Membrane protein, multi-pass. Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 11p15.5. Cellular Component: focal adhesion; membrane; integral to plasma membrane; plasma membrane; immunological synapse; vesicle. Molecular Function: protein binding. Biological Process: virion attachment, binding of host cell surface receptor; cell proliferation; regulation of immune response; protein localization; entry of virus into host cell; positive regulation of peptidyl-tyrosine phosphorylation; activation of MAPK activity; positive regulation of 1-phosphatidylinositol 4-kinase activity; positive regulation of cell proliferation; positive regulation of B cell proliferation; phosphatidylinositol biosynthetic process; phosphatidylinositol metabolic process. Disease: Immunodeficiency, Common Variable, 6
