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.TNS2 (Tensin 2) is a Protein Coding gene. Among its related pathways are Adhesion and PI3K / Akt Signaling. GO annotations related to this gene include kinase binding and phosphoprotein phosphatase activity. An important paralog of this gene is TNS1.
