NCBI Description
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]
Uniprot Description
CRTAP: Necessary for efficient 3-hydroxylation of fibrillar collagen prolyl residues. Defects in CRTAP are the cause of osteogenesis imperfecta type 7 (OI7). A connective tissue disorder characterized by short stature, short humeri and femora, coxa vara, white sclera, and the absence of dentinogenesis imperfecta. Multiple fractures are present at birth, and patients manifest moderate-severe bone fragility. Death may occurr in the perinatal period due to secondary respiratory insufficiency. Belongs to the leprecan family.

Product Notes
The CRTAP crtap (Catalog #
AAA6412535) is an Antibody produced from Rabbit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The CRTAP (Cartilage Associated Protein, OI7, CASP, LEPREL3) (MaxLight 750) reacts with Human, Mouse, Rat and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. AAA Biotech's CRTAP can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Immunohistochemistry (IHC), Western Blot (WB). IHC: 1:50-1:200 WB: 1:500-1:2000 Applications are based on unconjugated antibody. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the CRTAP crtap for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process.
It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of
"CRTAP, Polyclonal Antibody" to become dispersed throughout the inside of
the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always
suggest centrifuging these vials
to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to
opening. Please be advised that
certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an
additional dry ice fee may also be
required.
