This gene encodes a member of the cysteine-rich protein (CSRP) family. This gene family includes a group of LIM domain proteins, which may be involved in regulatory processes important for development and cellular differentiation. The LIM/double zinc-finger motif found in this gene product occurs in proteins with critical functions in gene regulation, cell growth, and somatic differentiation. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described.,CSRP1,CRP,CRP1,CSRP,CYRP,D1S181E,HEL-141,HEL-S-286,Epigenetics & Nuclear Signaling,Transcription Factors,RNA Binding,Stem Cells,CSRP1
