CRTAP cartilage associated protein

Gene ID: 10491, updated on 28-Oct-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: OI7; CASP; P3H5; LEPREL3

Summary

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. Defects in this gene are associated with osteogenesis imperfecta, a connective tissue disorder characterized by bone fragility and low bone mass. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
