Additional info: Tenascin C is an approximately 250 kDa extracellular matrix glycoprotein with important roles in the nervous system, as it promotes correct migration of growing axons during development and during neuronal regeneration. It is also involved in synaptic plasticity. Ligands of tenascin C are integrins alpha-8/beta-1, alpha-9/beta-1, alpha-V/beta-3, and alpha-V/beta-6. Similarly to neural cells, it also stimulates angiogenesis by promoting elongation and migration of endothelial cells.SpecificityThe mouse monoclonal antibody TFG-03 recognizes TFG, an approximately 50 kDa intracellular protein with regulatory functions.Application detailsImmunohistochemistry (paraffin sections): Immunohistochemical detection of tenascin is valuable for studies of tissue differentiation and tumour growth. The antibody T2H5 is excellent for staining of paraffin-embedded tissue sections.
Western blotting: Recommended dilution: 1-2 μg/ml.
