    text
  • in the cardiomyocytes, colocalized with cardiac troponin T in the thin-filaments of sarcomeres
  • predominantly localized in the cytoplasm of olfactory precursor cells
  • expressed in the nucleus
  • basic FUNCTION
  • involved in transcription
  • acting as a regulator of alpha-actinin function
  • acts as a transcription repressor of the NFKB–mediated proangiogenic cytokine expression and thus functionally inhibits tumor formation and angiogenesis
  • functional role of CRIP2 in cancer development and crucial role in regulating angiogenesis during tumor development
  • regulates NFKB transcriptional activity by inhibiting its binding to the promoter region
  • might exert an important impact on the cardiovascular development, maintenance and homeostasis
  • play an important role in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) tumorigenesis
  • CELLULAR PROCESS nucleotide, transcription

    protein
  • interacting with WNT3A (WNT3A regulates the development of cardiac neural crest cells by modulating expression of CRIP2 in rhombomere 6)
  • association with ADAM19 through its disintegrin (DI) domain, a cysteine-rich (Cys) domains (ADAM19 promotes the secretion of CRIP2)
