Identification of Rat Cysteine-Rich Secretory Protein 4 (Crisp4) as the Ortholog to Human CRISP1 and Mouse Crisp4
8 Feb 2006
Abstract excerpt
Cysteine-rich secretory proteins (CRISPs) are present in a diverse population of organisms and are defined by 16 conserved cysteine residues spanning a plant pathogenesis related-1 and a C-terminal cysteine-rich domain. To date, the diversification of mammalian CRISPs is evidenced by the existence of two, three, and four paralogous genes in the rat, human, and mouse, respectively. The current study identifies a...
