Literature-anchored findings (GeneRIF, showing 9)
- CRELD2 can act as a specific regulator of alpha4beta2 nAChR expression (PMID:16238698)
- Mapping of CRELD2 by FISH shows that it maps to 22q13 rather than the GenBank reported locus of 22p13. (PMID:16919896)
- We demonstrate that Armet and Creld2 are genotype-specific ER stress response proteins with substrate specificities, and that aggregation of mutant matrilin-3 is a key disease trigger in MED that could be exploited as a potential therapeutic target (PMID:23956175)
- results strongly suggest that Creld2 may be directly regulated by BMP9 and ER stress response may play an important role in regulating osteogenic differentiation (PMID:24019898)
- intravesicular acidification by V-ATPase regulates the secretion of CRELD2 without relying on the balance of intracellular calcium ions and the expression of endoplasmic reticulum chaperones such as GRP78 and protein disulfide isomerase. (PMID:24687431)
- ROCK-mediated selective activation of PERK signalling causes fibroblast reprogramming and tumour progression through a CRELD2-dependent mechanism. (PMID:32451439)
- Creld2 function during unfolded protein response is essential for liver metabolism homeostasis. (PMID:34549824)
- CRELD2, endoplasmic reticulum stress, and human diseases. (PMID:36936176)
