CD63 is a 53 kDa lysosomal membrane glycoprotein that has been identified as a platelet activation molecule that belongs to the tetraspanin family, which is characterized by the presence of four hydrophobic domains. CD63 can mediate signal transduction events that play a role in the regulation of cellular adhesion, cell differentiation, migration, carcinogenesis and tumor progression. CD63 shows a broad tissue distribution and is predominantly localized in cytoplasmic lysosomes. It is mainly present on platelet lysosomes, granulocytes, basophils and a small percentage of resting T cells, while it is also strongly expressed in early melanoma, breast carcinoma, merkel cell carcinoma, astrocytoma and lung adenocarcinoma. Recent reports also indicate that CD63 is a good prognostic biomarker for human astrocytomas and earlier stages of lung carcinoma. Additionally, CD63 has been useful in differentiating renal oncocytomas (RO) from eosinophilic variants of chromophobe renal cell carcinomas
