Tenascin Antibody

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.
