Expression of different tenascin isoforms in normal, hyperplastic and neoplastic human breast tissues
11 Nov 1992
Abstract excerpt
Functionally different tenascin (TN) isoforms, containing varying numbers of a 91 amino-acid motif resembling the fibronectin type-III homology repeat, may be generated by alternative splicing of the TN primary transcript. In fact, only the TN isoform containing the alternatively spliced region can induce loss of focal adhesion in cultured cells and seems to be able to facilitate cell migration. We examined the...
