Human RSPO1 protein, biotinylated, recombinant

Description

RSPO1 (R-Spondin 1, Roof plate-specific Spondin 1), also known as Cristin 3, is a secreted protein belonging to the R-Spondin (RSPO) family. It shares ~40% amino acid identity with three other RSPO family members, which all contain two cystein-rich, furin-like domains and one thrombospondin type 1 domain. RSPO1 is expressed in early development at the roof plate boundary and is implicated in dorsal neural tube development.  Postnatally, RSPO1 is expressed by neuroendocrine cells in the intestine, adrenal gland and pancreas, and by epithelia in kidney and prostate. In humans, rare disruptions of the RSPO1 gene are associated with a recessive syndrome characterized by XX sex reversal, palmoplantar hyperkeratosis and predisposition to squamous cell carcinoma of the skin. In mice, RSPO1 induces the rapid onset of crypt cell proliferation and increases intestinal epithelial healing, providing a protective effect against chemotherapy-induced colitis.  RSPO1 acts both in the canonical Wnt/β-catenin-dependent pathway, possibly via a direct interaction with Wnt proteins, and in a Wnt-independent β-catenin pathway through a receptor pathway that may not use frizzled/LRP receptors. RSPO1 is known as a ligand for frizzled FZD8 and LRP6. However RSPO1 does not directly activate LRP6. It regulates cellular responsiveness to Wnt ligands by modulating the cell-surface levels of the co-receptor LRP6.  RSPO1 may negatively regulate the TGFβ signaling pathway. In addition RSPO1 may paly an essential roles in ovary determination.
