Tenascin-W: An extracellular matrix protein associated with osteogenesis and cancer
چکیده انگلیسی
Tenascin-W was the last member of a family of four large extracellular matrix glycoproteins to be discovered. The original member of the tenascin family, tenascin-C, has been widely studied due to its association with asthma, fibrosis, infection, inflammation and cancer. Recent studies report multiple common features between tenascin-W and tenascin-C in terms of structure, expression and function, especially in the context of tumorigenesis. Furthermore, specific functions for tenascin-W in osteogenesis have been revealed. This review presents an update on our current knowledge concerning tenascin-W and discusses potential medical applications of this cancer-enriched extracellular matrix protein.
