Domain structure of human tenascin-C (based on SMART-tool [176] and review [226]). N-terminal assembly domain (AD) links the tenascin chains and mediates the oligomerization and formation of hexamers. The assembly domain is followed by the EGF-like repeats and two types of FN-III domains: conserved (yellow rectangles) and alternatively spliced (yellow with red), and the C-terminal fibrinogen-like domain (FBG). Tenascin-C-derived 22-mer peptide TNIIIA2.
