Background: CD9

CD9, also known as motility-related protein-1 (MRP-1), is a tetraspan family glycoprotein expressed by a variety of hematopoietic and epithelial cells. It forms homotypic associations as well as heterotypic associations with other tetraspan proteins, some integrins and MHC class II proteins. CD9 has been shown to modulate cellular adhesion, migration and proliferation.
