"Tensin3 is a member of tensin family which is localized in focal adhesion. In our previous study, a high level of tensin3 mRNA expression was observed in the thyroid but not ill other tissues, thus, tensin3 gene was regarded as a novel thyroid-specific gene," scientists writing in the journal Experimental and Clinical Endocrinology & Diabetes report. "The high expression level of tensin3 mRNA in normal thyroid tissue suggests some fundamental roles in thyroid functions. In fact, the expression level of tensin3 mRNA was low in most thyroid carcinomas and non-functioning thyroid follicular adenomas which do [lot produce thyroid hormone. In the present Study, we...
