CRIM1 (cysteine-rich motor neuron 1),a glycosylated type I transmembrane protein,plays a role in tissue development i.e. capillary formation and maintenance during angiogenesis. It contains an N-terminal IGF-binding protein-like motif and six von Willebrand-like cysteine-rich repeats (CRRs) in its extracellular domain. CRIM1 interacts with BMP4 and BMP7 via the CRRs and functions as an antagonist. CRIM1 is developmentally expressed in a number of tissues including the pancreas,kidney,placenta,brain and blood vessels. CRIM1 may participate in CNS and placental development by interacting with growth factors involved in motor neuron differentiation and survival.
应用类型
Western Blot: 1 - 2 ug/ml, ELISA. However, the optimal conditions should be determined individually.
免疫原
CRIM1 antibody was raised against a 17 amino acid peptide near the carboxy terminus of human Crim1.
