Tenascin-R

Tenascin-R is a is_associated_with::protein that in humans is encoded by the TNR is_associated_with::gene.

Function
Tenascin-R (TNR) is an is_associated_with::extracellular matrix protein expressed primarily in the central nervous system. It is a member of the is_associated_with::tenascin (TN) gene family, which includes at least 3 genes in mammals: TNC (or hexabrachion), TNX (TNXB), and TNR. The genes are expressed in distinct tissues at different times during embryonic development and are present in adult tissues.[supplied by OMIM]
