Tensin-2 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the TNS2 gene (previously TENC1).
The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the tensin family. Tensin is a focal adhesion molecule that binds to actin filaments and participates in signaling pathways. This protein plays a role in regulating cell migration. Alternative splicing occurs at this locus and three transcript variants encoding three distinct isoforms have been identified.
Interactions Tensin-2 has been shown to interact with AXL receptor tyrosine kinase.
