Function | GPI-anchored cell membrane protein involved in Nodal signaling. Cell-associated CRIPTO acts as a Nodal coreceptor in cis. Shedding of CRIPTO by TMEM8A modulates Nodal signaling by allowing soluble CRIPTO to act as a Nodal coreceptor on other cells (PubMed:27881714). Could play a role in the determination of the epiblastic cells that subsequently give rise to the mesoderm (PubMed:11909953). |
Cellular Location | Cell membrane; Lipid-anchor, GPI-anchor. Secreted. Note=Released from the cell membrane by GPI cleavage. |
Tissue Location | Preferentially expressed in gastric and colorectal carcinomas than in their normal counterparts. Expressed in breast and lung. |

Background
TDGF1 Antibody: Teratocarcinoma-derived growth factor 1 (TDGF1 or Cripto) is a member of the epidermal growth factor-cripto FRL1 cryptic protein family and is involved in the activation of several different signaling pathways during embryonic development and cellular transformation. It is first expressed in the forming mesoderm during gastrulation but later in development the expression is restricted to the truncus arteriosus of the developing heart. This suggests that TDGF1 mediates the progression of epiblastic cells that give rise to the mesoderm. TDGF1 overexpression is characteristic of human gastric and colorectal carcinomas.
