Tenascin-C Extra-Domain A1 (TNC-A1)

Target
TNC-A1
Molecular classification
Extracellular Matrix Glycoprotein, Fibronectin Type III Domain
01

Overview

Tenascin-C Extra-Domain A1 (TNC-A1) is an alternatively spliced fibronectin type III (FNIII) domain of the extracellular matrix glycoprotein Tenascin-C. It is upregulated in tumors and promotes cancer cell survival, proliferation, invasion, angiogenesis, immune evasion and metastasis. TNC-A1 isoforms serve as promising targets for diagnostic imaging agents or targeted therapies.
