The CD63 gene is located on human chromosome 12q13 and is the first characterized tetraspanin. Originally, CD63 was discovered as a protein present on the cell surface of activated blood platelets, known as platelet glycoprotein 40 and in early stage human melanoma cells, where it was known as melanoma antigen 491.
