AmiGO 2: Term Details for "tetraspanin-enriched microdomain" (GO:0097197)

Accession: GO:0097197
Name: tetraspanin-enriched microdomain
Ontology: cellular_component
Synonyms: TEM, membrane tetraspanin-enriched microdomain
Alternate IDs: None
Definition: A pre-organized unit composed either of adhesion molecules (mainly integrins and members of the Ig superfamily), signaling receptors and/or enzyme-enriched plasma membrane domains that compartmentalizes cellular processes. Tetraspanin-enriched microdomains might be specially suited for the regulation of avidity of adhesion receptors and the compartmentalization of enzymatic activities.
