General Notes
Purified human Tenascin is a preparation of human tenascin prepared from tissue culture supernatant of the glioblastoma U-251 MG, formally distributed as U-373 MG, an astrocytoid adherent cell line, an over producer of human tenascin. Tenascin is a secreted peptide found in the extracellular matrix that plays an active role in the development of the CNS and mesenchymal derived organs. It is also present in adult tumour vasculature and has functions in cell adhesion.
