Cysteine and glycine-rich protein 1 is a
protein that in humans is encoded by the ''CSRP1''
gene.
CSRP1 is a member of the CSRP family of genes encoding a group of
LIM domain proteins, which may be involved in regulatory processes important for development and
cellular differentiation
Cellular differentiation is the process in which a stem cell alters from one type to a differentiated one. Usually, the cell changes to a more specialized type. Differentiation happens multiple times during the development of a multicellular ...
. The LIM/double
zinc-finger motif found in CRP1 is found in a group of proteins with critical functions in
gene regulation,
cell growth
Cell growth refers to an increase in the total mass of a cell, including both cytoplasmic, nuclear and organelle volume. Cell growth occurs when the overall rate of cellular biosynthesis (production of biomolecules or anabolism) is greater than ...
, and somatic differentiation Other genes in the family include
CSRP2 and
CSRP3
Cysteine and glycine-rich protein 3 also known as cardiac LIM protein (CLP) or muscle LIM protein (MLP) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CSRP3 gene.
CSRP3 IS a small 194 amino acid protein, which is specifically expressed in skeletal ...
