Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0)
Enables identical protein binding activity and integrin binding activity. Involved in several processes, including generation of neurons; negative regulation of canonical Wnt signaling pathway; and negative regulation of osteoblast differentiation. Acts upstream of or within axonogenesis and cell-matrix adhesion. Located in several cellular components, including CA3 pyramidal cell dendrite; hippocampal mossy fiber expansion; and neuronal cell body. Part of tenascin complex. Is expressed in several structures, including cranium; dura mater; forelimb; palatal shelf; and periosteum. Orthologous to human TNN (tenascin N).
