Background
This gene encodes a member of the tenascin family of extracellular matrix glycoproteins. The tenascins have anti-adhesive effects, as opposed to fibronectin which is adhesive. This protein is thought to function in matrix maturation during wound healing, and its deficiency has been associated with the connective tissue disorder Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. This gene localizes to the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class III region on chromosome 6. It is one of four genes in this cluster which have been duplicated. The duplicated copy of this gene is incomplete and is a pseudogene which is transcribed but does not encode a protein. The structure of this gene is unusual in that it overlaps the CREBL1 and CYP21A2 genes at its 5' and 3' ends, respectively. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008],
Function
alternative products:Additional isoforms seem to exist,caution:Could be the product of a pseudogene. TNXA is transcriptionally active in adrenal cortex but no protein product has been observed.,caution:There are two genes for TN-X: TNXA and TNXB. TNXA is a partial gene which can sometimes recombine with TNXB.,developmental stage:Expression levels are lower in adults than in children.,disease:Association with congenital adrenal hyperplasia.,disease:Defects in TNXB are the cause of tenascin-X deficiency (TNXD) [MIM:606408]. TNXD leads to an Ehlers-Danlos-like syndrome characterized by hyperextensible skin, hypermobile joints, and tissue fragility. Tenascin-X-deficient patients, however, lack atrophic scars, a major diagnostic criteria for classic Ehlers-Danlos. Delayed wound healing, which is also common in classic EDS, is only present in a subset of patients.,function:Appears to mediate i
