Disease relevance of Crisp3

 

High impact information on Crisp3

 

Biological context of Crisp3

  • Over 800 bp of CRISP-3 promoter region were determined and two regions almost exactly matching the androgen-responsive element consensus RGWACANNNTGTWCY detected [1].
  • In addition, the cDNA coding for the new related CRISP-3, which shares 77% amino acid identity with CRISP-1, was isolated from a salivary gland cDNA library [4].
  • The equine TPX1 gene consists of ten exons spanning 18 kb while the AEG2 gene consists of eight exons that are spread over 24 kb [5].
  • In this report, the cloning and DNA sequence of 137 kb of horse genomic DNA from equine chromosome 20q22 containing the closely linked equine TPX1 and AEG2 genes are described [5].
 

Anatomical context of Crisp3

  • The second, more abundant transcript, Aeg-2, had a sequence similar to, but distinct from, that of Aeg-1, and was not detectable in the epididymis [6].
  • In the present study, we show that the mouse submandibular gland (SMG) expresses two genes designated Aeg-1 and Aeg-2 [6].
  • CRISP-1 and CRISP-2 transcripts were detected as early as 22 days after birth in the epididymis and testis, respectively, whereas CRISP-3 mRNA was visible only from day 30 in the salivary gland [7].
  • Here, we present the identification and characterization of a further gene, coding for cysteine-rich secreted protein 3 (CRISP-3), whose expression in B cells is regulated by Oct2 [2].
 

Associations of Crisp3 with chemical compounds

  • CRISP-1 and CRISP-3 RNA levels were significantly increased, and these effects were prevented by a concomitant treatment with the antiandrogen flutamide [7].
