Gene: TNS1
Alternate names for this Gene: MST091|MST122|MST127|MSTP091|MSTP122|MSTP127|MXRA6|PPP1R155|TNS
Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene localizes to focal adhesions, regions of the plasma membrane where the cell attaches to the extracellular matrix. This protein crosslinks actin filaments and contains a Src homology 2 (SH2) domain, which is often found in molecules involved in signal transduction. This protein is a substrate of calpain II. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms.
Gene is located in Chromosome: 2
