Abstract excerpt
The extracellular matrix glycoprotein tenascin-C (TN-C) displays a restricted and developmentally regulated distribution in the mouse central nervous system. Defined modules of the molecule have been shown to mediate specific functions, such as neuron migration, neurite outgrowth, cell adhesion, and cell proliferation. The smallest TN-C form contains a stretch of eight fibronectin type III (FNIII) domains, which...
