Also known as: TN; Hxb; Ten; TN-C; cytotactin; tenascin-C; C130033P17Rik
Summary: Predicted to enable fibronectin binding activity; integrin binding activity; and syndecan binding activity. Involved in several processes, including neuromuscular junction development; peripheral nervous system axon regeneration; and regulation of inflammatory response. Acts upstream of or within positive regulation of cell population proliferation; positive regulation of gene expression; and prostate gland development. Located in basement membrane; extracellular region; and interstitial matrix. Part of tenascin complex. Is active in perisynaptic extracellular matrix. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; heart and pericardium; immune system; and skeletal system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in allergic conjunctivitis; asthma; autosomal dominant nonsyndromic deafness 56; and pulmonary hypertension. Orthologous to human TNC (tenascin C).

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
