Structure and function
The protein encoded by this gene is similar to the chicken and mouse CRTAP genes. The encoded protein is a scaffolding protein that may influence the activity of at least one member of the cytohesin/ARNO family in response to specific cellular stimuli. [5]
CRTAP forms a tight protein complex with two other enzymes involved in post-translational modification: Leprecan (P3H1) and PPIB. [7] In this complex, CRTAP acts as a collagen-binding site, capturing substrates for subsequent enzymatic processing by P3H1 and PPIB. Notably, CRTAP exhibits a folding pattern similar to the N-terminal domain of P3H1.
