MGI Phenotype FUNCTION: [Summary is not available for the mouse gene. This summary is for the human ortholog.] 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. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit abnormal retinal vasculature with pericapillary occlusions, lack of vertical sprouts, gliosis, fenestration, microanurysms, hemorrhage, and delayed regression of hyaloid capillaries. [provided by MGI curators]

Nature of Mutation
DNA sequencing using the SOLiD technique identified an A to G transition at position 917 of the Tspan12 transcript, in exon 8 of 9 total exons. Multiple transcripts of Tspan12 are displayed on Ensembl. The mutated nucleotide causes a histidine to arginine substitution at amino acid 194 of the encoded protein. The mutation has been confirmed by DNA sequencing using the Sanger method (Figure 1).
Protein Function and Prediction
Tspan12 encodes the 305 amino acid Tetraspanin-12 protein with evidence at the transcript level. Tetraspanin-12 belongs to the tetraspanin family and has four transmembrane domains. Both the N- and C-termini are cytoplasmic. Tetraspanins are involved in organizing other proteins into a network of multimolecular membrane microdomains, sometimes called the tetraspanin web. Within the tetraspanin web, tetraspanin proteins can associate not only with integrins and other transmembrane proteins, but also with signaling enzymes such as protein kinase C and phosphatidylinositol-4 kinase (Uniprot Q8BKT6). 
 
The H194R change occurs in the second extracellular domain of the protein, and is predicted to be probably damaging by the PolyPhen program.
