Anti-Tenascin (TN, Cytotactin, GMEM, GP 150-225, Glioma-associated-extracellular Matrix Antigen, Hex

The tenascins are a family of extracellular matrix proteins (ECMs). Tenascin is an extracellular matrix protein. It expressed in an unusually restricted pattern during embryogenesis and has been implicated in a variety of morphogenetic phenomena. Human hexabrachion gene (tenascin) is mapped to chromosome 9, bands q32-q34. The coding region of the hexabrachion gene spans approximately 80 kilobases of DNA and consists of 27 exons separated by 26 introns.
