TNC tenascin C

Gene ID: 3371, updated on 10-Oct-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: GP; JI; TN; HXB; GMEM; TN-C; DFNA56; 150-225

Summary

This gene encodes an extracellular matrix protein with a spatially and temporally restricted tissue distribution. This protein is homohexameric with disulfide-linked subunits, and contains multiple EGF-like and fibronectin type-III domains. It is implicated in guidance of migrating neurons as well as axons during development, synaptic plasticity, and neuronal regeneration. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2011]
