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]
A study in humans identified the CRIP2 as a high-degree node in a protein-protein interaction network and a potential myocardial infarction biomarker, showing downregulation in patient blood samples though electronic validation indicated upregulation [Zhao et al. DOI:10.3892/etm.2017.5580]. Another human study found the CRIP2 is part of a 38-gene transcriptomic signature of obesity, with its expression coefficient positively correlating with body mass index and fat mass in subcutaneous adipose tissue [Font-Clos et al. DOI:10.1088/1361-6579/aab85a].
