tetraspanin-enriched microdomain
Definition
Target type: cellularcomponent
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.

Tetraspanin-enriched microdomains (TEMs), also known as tetraspanin web, are specialized plasma membrane microdomains that are enriched in tetraspanin proteins. These domains are characterized by their unique protein composition, which includes a variety of transmembrane proteins, including tetraspanins, integrins, and growth factor receptors, as well as signaling molecules, cytoskeletal proteins, and lipid raft components. TEMs play a critical role in a wide range of cellular processes, including cell adhesion, migration, proliferation, and signal transduction. They are involved in the regulation of various cellular events, such as cell-cell interactions, cell-matrix interactions, and immune responses. The molecular basis for the formation and function of TEMs is still being investigated, but it is believed that tetraspanins act as scaffold proteins, bringing together different proteins and lipids to form these specialized microdomains. TEMs have been implicated in various pathological processes, including cancer, inflammation, and infectious diseases. Further research on TEMs is crucial for understanding their role in health and disease and for developing new therapeutic strategies.'
