CRTAP

SYNONYMS
CASP, LEPREL3, OI7, Cartilage-associated protein, CRTAP.

INTRODUCTION
Cartilage-associated protein (CRTAP) is a secreted protein localizing to the extracellular space which takes part in collagen post-translational modifications, extracellular fibril assembly and intracellular trafficking. CRTAP which is mainly expressed with predominant expression in articular chondrocytes is essential for efficient 3-hydroxylation of fibrillar collagen prolyl residues. Mutations in the gene encoding CRTAP might cause to autosomal recessive osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) type 7 and type 2B.

DESCRIPTION
CRTAP Human Recombinant produced in E. coli is. a single polypeptide chain containing 398 amino acids (27-401) and having a molecular mass of 46.4kDa. CRTAP is fused to a 23 amino acid His-tag at N-terminus & purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
