CRIP2

Also known as CRIP, CRP2, ESP1, cysteine rich protein 2

Cysteine-rich protein 2 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CRIP2 gene.

Gene data

CRIP2

Name: cysteine rich protein 2
Type: protein-coding
Aliases: CRIP, CRP2, ESP1

This gene encodes a putative transcription factor with two LIM zinc-binding domains. The encoded protein may participate in the differentiation of smooth muscle tissue. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2012].

Cysteine-rich protein 2 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CRIP2 gene.

CRIP2 and the closely related CRIP1 are cysteine-rich proteins containing two LIM domains. They are highly expressed during cardiovascular development and act to bridge serum response factor and GATA proteins and stimulate smooth muscle target genes.
