CRTAC1 (cartilage acidic protein 1; also CEP-68) is a 95‑105 kDa member of a novel family of EGF domain-containing proteins. It is secreted by articular chondrocytes and may play a role in either cartilage matrix organization or cell-matrix adhesion. Mature human CRTAC1 is 634 amino acids (aa) in length. It contains four FG-GAP (PheGly-GlyAlaPro) domains (aa 46‑437) and one EGF-like motif (aa 559‑605). Multiple splice forms exist. There are two alternate start sites at Met9 and Met211 that may be accompanied by a 39 aa substitution for the C-terminal 55 aa, or an 84 aa substitution for aa 545‑661. Over aa 28‑661, human CRTAC1 shares 91% aa identity with mouse CRTAC1. This form in mouse, however, is more equivalent to the human isoform that shows a C-terminal 39 aa substitution. In this case, there is 95% aa identity between mouse and human.

Scientific Data Images for Human CRTAC1 Antibody
CRTAC1 in Human Chondrocytes.
CRTAC1 was detected in immersion fixed human mesenchymal stem cells differentiated into chondrocytes using Mouse Anti-Human CRTAC1 Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB5234) at 10 µg/mL for 3 hours at room temperature. Cells were stained using the NorthernLights™ 557-conjugated Anti-Mouse IgG Secondary Antibody (red; Catalog # NL007) and counterstained with DAPI (blue). Specific staining was localized to cytoplasm.
