About CRTAC1

Cytogenetic location: 10q24.2 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 10:97,865,000-98,030,621 (from NCBI)

This gene has 6 transcripts (splice variants) and 257 orthologues. Biased expression in lung (RPKM 23.3), brain (RPKM 10.1) and 5 other tissues.

Summary

This gene encodes a glycosylated extracellular matrix protein that is found in the interterritorial matrix of articular deep zone cartilage. This protein is used as a marker to distinguish chondrocytes from osteoblasts and mesenchymal stem cells in culture. The presence of FG-GAP motifs and an RGD integrin-binding motif suggests that this protein may be involved in cell-cell or cell-matrix interactions. Copy number alterations in this gene have been observed in neurofibromatosis type 1-associated glomus tumors. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
