Mouse CRELD1 Antibody

CRELD1 (cysteine-rich with EGF-like domain protein 1) is an integral membrane protein that functions as a cell adhesion molecule. It is synthesized as a 420 amino acid (aa) precursor with an N-terminal signal peptide, a large extracellular domain (ECD) with two EGF-like repeats that flank two consecutive furin-like repeats, two‑transmembrane domains separated by one cytoplasmic residue, and a short extracellular C-terminal domain. CRELD1 null-mouse fails to develop a normal heart and missense mutations in human CRELD1 have also been associated with atrioventricular septal defects. The N-terminal ECD of mouse CRELD1 shares 97% and 92% aa sequence identity with the ECD of rat and human CRELD1, respectively.
