Cripto-1 (teratocarcinoma-derived growth factor-1) is the original member of EGF-cripto-1-FRL-1-cryptic (CFC) family of vertebrate signaling molecules which is essential for embryonic development and it implicates in carcinogenesis also. Cripto1 functions as a co-receptor for NODAL (TGF-beta member) and is essential for mesoderm as well as endoderm formation and anterior-posterior and left-right axis establishment. After executing key functions during embryonic development, it dramatically disappears in adult tissues (except stem cells). Cripto-1 modulate signaling of TGF-beta family members (NODAL, GDF-1/-3, Activin, TGF-beta1 etc), and activate c-src/MAPK/AKT pathway in a Glypican-1/GRP78-dependent manner, and cross-talks with erbB4, Wnt/beta-catenin, NOTCH, Caveolin-1, and Apelin/putative receptor protein related to angiotensin-type I receptor pathways. During embryonic development, Cripto-1 together with Nodal controls cell migration and EMT, whereas, postnatally, it regulates the branching morphogenesis of mammary gland. Moreover, in adult life it gets re -expressed in several type of tumors wherein it promotes cell proliferation, migration, invasion, EMT, and angiogenesis.

CR; CRGF; CRIPTO
Note
This Cripto1 antibody is useful in Immunocytochemistry/Immunofluorescence, Flow Cytometry and Western Blot. In Western blot a band is seen at ~18 kDa representing the core form of Cripto1, and at ~36 kDa reporesenting the glycosylated/ post-translationally modified form.
