Collagen Triple Helix Repeat Containing 1, a Novel Secreted Protein in Injured and Diseased Arteries, Inhibits Collagen Expression and Promotes Cell Migration
24 Dec 2004
Abstract excerpt
Collagen triple helix repeat containing 1 (Cthrc1) was identified in a screen for differentially expressed sequences in balloon-injured versus normal arteries. Cthrc1 expression was not detectable in normal arteries. However, on injury it was transiently expressed by fibroblasts of the remodeling adventitia and by smooth muscle cells of the neointima. It was also found in the matrix of calcifying human...
