Tetraspanin-7 (Tspan-7; TALLA1; MXS1; TM4SF2) (Hemler, 2005). Defects in humans result in mental retardation, called x-linked type 58 (MRX58) (Hemler, 2005).  Contains sphingolipid binding motifs (Björkholm et al. 2014).  Tspan-7 is the target of autoantibodies and type I diabetes (McLaughlin et al. 2016). Tspan7 is an islet autoantigen involved in autoimmune type 1 diabetes and regulates beta-cell L-type Ca2+ channel activity (McLaughlin et al. 2022). It thereby regulates Ca2+-dependent exocytosis in beta-cells (McLaughlin et al. 2022).
