Also known as: cryptic; b2b970Clo
Summary: Enables activin receptor binding activity. Involved in nodal signaling pathway. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including animal organ development; digestive tract morphogenesis; and endoderm development. Predicted to be located in plasma membrane. Predicted to be active in cell surface and extracellular region. Is expressed in several structures, including embryo mesoderm; intermediate mesenchyme; neural ectoderm; and primitive streak. Used to study dextro-looped transposition of the great arteries; double outlet right ventricle; right atrial isomerism; and visceral heterotaxy. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in visceral heterotaxy. Orthologous to human CFC1 (cripto, FRL-1, cryptic family 1) and CFC1B (cripto, FRL-1, cryptic family 1B).

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.

Description

Transcript Variant: This variant (2) lacks an alternate exon compared to variant 1. This variant is represented as non-coding because the use of the 5'-most expected translational start codon renders the transcript a candidate for nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD).
