九次跨膜超家族蛋白(TM9SF)的表达及功能研究进展
摘 要:
九次跨膜超家族蛋白(transmembrane 9 superfamily proteins,TM9SFs,又称Nonaspanins蛋白)由多个成员构成,目前在哺乳动物中有4个成员被发现(TM9SF1~TM9SF4)。TM9SFs结构上均含有一个大的非胞质区和9个跨膜区,在进化过程中高度保守并广谱表达。尽管目前关于该家族蛋白的功能性研究比较有限,但根据目前已知研究成果,其成员与细胞免疫、感染、自噬、肿瘤侵袭和预后等多种生物功能密切相关。该文汇总了TM9SF1~TM9SF4的表达、功能研究和调控作用,以期为科研工作者后续研究提供参考。

Abstract:
Transmembrane 9 superfamily proteins (TM9SFs) are mainly composed of four members in mammals called TM9SF1~TM9SF4. TM9SFs have a large non cytoplasmic region and nine transmembrane regions, which are highly conserved during evolution and widely expressed. Researches concerning the function of these superfamily proteins are limited to date, while mounting evidence suggests that the four members are closely related to many biological functions, such as cellular immunity, infection, autophagy, tumor invasion and prognosis. In this paper, we summarized recent studies on the expression, function and regulation of TM9SF1~TM9SF4, in order to provide reference for future study.
