Cysteine and Glycine-rich Protein 2 (CSRP2, Cysteine-rich Protein 2, CRP2, LIM Domain Only Protein 5, LMO-5, Smooth Muscle Cell LIM Protein, SmLIM, LMO5, SMLIM)

CSRP2 (Cysteine-rich protein 2/CRP2; also Cysteine and Glycine-rich protein 2, LMO-5 and SmLIM) is a 21-22kD member of the CRP family of LIM domain-containing proteins. It is expressed in arterial smooth muscle, hepatic stellate cells and fibroblasts. CSRP2 is upregulated by TGF-b and downregulated by PDGF, and appears to interact with PIAS1 and CRP2-BP, thus promoting STAT signaling. It also binds to SRF and GATA4 to initiate smooth muscle differentiation. Human CSRP2 is 193aa in length and contains two 50aa LIM (for lin11/isl1/mec3) domains that contain two zinc-finger motifs (aa10-61 and 119-170), an NLS between aa64-69, and a Gly-rich C-terminus (aa176-187). Full-length human CSRP2 shares 79% aa identity with human CSRP1.\n\nApplications:\nSuitable for use in Western Blot.
