CTHRC1 (Collagen triple helix repeat-containing protein 1) is a 28-30kD, secreted glycoprotein that bears similarity to the C1q/TNF-alpha-related family of proteins.
It is expressed by disparate cell types, including renal epithelium, neurons, osteoblasts and smooth muscle cells.
Functionally, it is recognized to be induced by BMP-2, and to block TGF-b-induced collagen type I and III synthesis.
Mouse CTHRC1 is 245aa in length.
It contains a 32aa signal sequence, a 16aa prosegment (aa33-48), and a 197aa mature region that shows one collagen-like domain (aa59-92).
Proteolytic processing may generate multiple CTHRC1 isoforms.
There is the potential for an intracellular full-length 33kD, 245aa form, plus extracellular isoforms that are 28kD (aa33-245), 26kD (aa49-245), 20kD (aa98-245) and 18kD and 16kD in size, the last two representing variants of the 20kD form with C-terminal processing.
CTHRC1 may undergo dimerization, trimerization and oligomerization.
One mouse splice variant shows a deletion of aa53-126.
Full-length mouse CTHRC1 shares 99% and 93% aa identity with rat and human CTHRC1, respectively.
