This antibody is specific for human Cripto-1 protein. A BLAST analysis was used to suggest limited cross-reactivity with Cripto-1 from mouse based on a 70% homology with the immunizing sequence. Expect cross-reactivity with human Cripto-3 (TDGF2) based on very high levels of sequence conservation. Cross-reactivity with Cripto-1 from other sources has not been determined.
Cripto (TDGF1) is a GPI-anchored cell membrane proetin involved in Nodal signaling. Cell associated TDGF1 acts as a a Nodeal coreceptor in cis. Shedding of TDGF1 by TMEM8A modulated Nodal signaling by allowing soluble TDGF1 to act as a Nodal coreceptor on other cells. TDGF1 is expressed both in ES cells and during the early phases of embryo development, while in adults it is reactivated in a wide range of epithelial cancers.
