Target intelligence / Profile preview

Tenascin C (None)

Target
None
Molecular classification
Extracellular matrix glycoprotein, Glycoprotein
01

Overview

Tenascin C is a large, multimodular extracellular matrix glycoprotein involved in embryonic development, tissue injury, inflammation, and tumorigenesis. It modulates cell adhesion, migration, proliferation, and differentiation, and plays a role in synaptic function and immune response. It is a potential therapeutic target in cancer and other diseases due to its restricted expression pattern in adults.
