TNR ELISA Kit (Human) (OKBB01309)

Description of target: Tenascin-R is a protein that in humans is encoded by the TNR gene. This gene is mapped to 1q25.1. Tenascin-R (TNR) is an extracellular matrix protein expressed primarily in the central nervous system. It is a member of the tenascin (TN) gene family, which includes at least 3 genes in mammals: TNC (or hexabrachion), TNX (TNXB), and TNR. The genes are expressed in distinct tissues at different times during embryonic development and are present in adult tissues. This gene encodes a member of the tenascin family of extracellular matrix glycoproteins. The encoded protein is restricted to the central nervous system. The protein may play a role in neurite outgrowth, neural cell adhesion and modulation of sodium channel function. It is a constituent of perineuronal nets. ;Species reactivity: Human;Application: ELISA;Assay info: ;Sensitivity: <50pg/ml
