Summary
CD63 (CD63 molecule, HGNC:1692) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 12q13.2, encoding CD63 antigen (P08962). Functions as a cell surface receptor for TIMP1 and plays a role in the activation of cellular signaling cascades.
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. The encoded protein is a cell surface glycoprotein that is known to complex with integrins. It may function as a blood platelet activation marker. Deficiency of this protein is associated with Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome. Also this gene has been associated with tumor progression. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different protein isoforms.

Function. Functions as a cell surface receptor for TIMP1 and plays a role in the activation of cellular signaling cascades. Plays a role in the activation of ITGB1 and integrin signaling, leading to the activation of AKT, FAK/PTK2 and MAP kinases. Promotes cell survival, reorganization of the actin cytoskeleton, cell adhesion, spreading and migration, via its role in the activation of AKT and FAK/PTK2. Plays a role in VEGFA signaling via its role in regulating the internalization of KDR/VEGFR2. Plays a role in intracellular vesicular transport processes, and is required for normal trafficking of the PMEL luminal domain that is essential for the development and maturation of melanocytes. Plays a role in the adhesion of leukocytes onto endothelial cells via its role in the regulation of SELP trafficking. May play a role in mast cell degranulation in response to Ms4a2/FceRI stimulation, but not in mast cell degranulation in response to other stimuli.
Subunit / interactions. Interacts with TIMP1 and ITGB1 and recruits TIMP1 to ITGB1. Interacts with CD9. Identified in a complex with CD9 and ITGB3. Interacts with PMEL. Interacts with KDR/VEGFR2; identified in a complex with ITGB1 and KDR/VEGFR2 and is required to recruit KDR to ITGB1 complexes. Interacts with SYT7.
Subcellular location. Cell membrane. Lysosome membrane. Late endosome membrane. Endosome. Multivesicular body. Melanosome. Secreted. Extracellular exosome. Cell surface.
Tissue specificity. Detected in platelets (at protein level). Dysplastic nevi, radial growth phase primary melanomas, hematopoietic cells, tissue macrophages.
Post-translational modifications. Palmitoylated at a low, basal level in unstimulated platelets. The level of palmitoylation increases when platelets are activated by thrombin (in vitro).
Miscellaneous. Lack of expression of CD63 in platelets has been observed in a patient with Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome (HPS). Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome (HPS) is a genetically heterogeneous, rare, autosomal recessive disorder characterized by oculocutaneous albinism, bleeding due to platelet storage pool deficiency, and lysosomal storage defects. This syndrome results from defects of diverse cytoplasmic organelles including melanosomes, platelet dense granules and lysosomes. Ceroid storage in the lungs is associated with pulmonary fibrosis, a common cause of premature death in individuals with HPS. This antigen is associated with early stages of melanoma tumor progression.
Similarity. Belongs to the tetraspanin (TM4SF) family.
