Tensin-1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the TNS1 gene.The protein encoded by this gene localizes to focal adhesions regions of the plasma membrane where the cell attaches to the extracellular matrix. This protein crosslinks actin filaments and contains a Src homology 2 (SH2) domain which is often found in molecules involved in signal transduction. This protein is a substrate of calpain II.
