What is tenascin X?

"Tenascin X is a large extracellular matrix protein associated with collagen fibrils involved in extracellular matrix maintenance. A tenascin X deficiency results in fragmentation of elastic fibers, reduction of collagen, failure of fibroblasts to correctly deposit collagen, and loose packing of collagen fibrils."
