Key Event Description
Cripto-1 is responsible for growth factor activity, as well as activin binding on the cell membrane. Cripto-1 may also be referred to as teratocarcinoma-derived growth factor 1, tdgf1, or one-eyed pinhead protein, depending on the species (Uniprot). The cripto-1 protein binds to TGF-B and Activin receptors as a co-receptor which mediates signalling (Ravisankar et al., 2011).
Uniprot ID
How It Is Measured or Detected
Cripto-1 transcripts can be measured via quantitative real-time PCR (Sengupta et al., 2012; Garland et al., 2019).
Domain of Applicability
- Cripto-1 has been measured in different vertebrates with a similar function (Uniprot; see above links)
- The EGF and CFC regions of the protein are highly conserved cross species and provide similar function. However there is fuctional differentiation in mammals compared to that of other species (Ravisankar et al., 2011).
