General description

Tensin-3 is a member of the Tensin family of proteins that serve as a connection between the cytoskeleton and extracellular matrix. Because of this link, Tensin's are commonly thought to regulate signaling for the shape of the cell and motility. Tensin-3 localizes in the cell cytoplasm and has been shown to be significantly decreased in many different human cancer cell lines. Higher expression levels of Tensin-3 were also found to be associated with longer survival. Tensin-3 has also been found to be highly expressed in functioning thyroid follicular adenomas while expression is significantly lower in non-functioning thyroid follicular adenomas, which seems to imply that Tensin-3 has an important role in basic thyroid function.

Target description

~180 kDa observed.
The calculated molecular weight is 155 kDa, however Tensin-3 has been shown as a ~180 kDa band in western blots (Cui, Y., et al. (2004). Molecular Cancer Research. 2:225–232).
An uncharacterized band appears at ~22 kDa in some lysates.
