A member of the tenascin family, tenascin X (TN-X) also known as hexabrachion-like protein is a glycoprotein that is expressed in connective tissues including skin, joints and muscles. In humans, tenascin X is encoded by the TNXB gene.
This gene localizes to the major histocompatibility complex () class III region on chromosome 6. The structure of this gene is unusual in that it overlaps the CREBL1 and CYP21A2 genes at its 5' and 3' ends, respectively.
