Application DetailsImmunohistochemistry (IHC) and Western Blotting (WB). A concentration of 1.0-2.0 µg/mL is recommended for WB. Human Tenascin (isoform 1) has a predicted length of 2,201 residues and MW of 241 kDa. A concentration of 2.0-4.0 µg/mL is recommended for IHC to detect the protein in formalin fixed and paraffin embedded tissues as well as formalin/acetone fixed frozen tissues. Biosensis recommends optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user.
TargetTenascin (TN)
SpecificityThe specificity of this antibody has been confirmed by WB and IHC against the antigen. Human;
Scientific BackgroundTenascin is a hexameric extracellular matrix protein. Tenascin may have a role in guiding migrating neurons as well as axons during development, synaptic plasticity as well as neuronal regeneration. In the embryo, Tenascin is found in developing epithelia, cartilage and bone. In the adult, Tenascin is found in smooth muscle, tendon and hyper-proliferative skin. At least 6 isoforms of human Tenascin are produced by alternative splicing.
