Query author contributions in Reactome

Reactome depends on collaboration between our curation team and outside experts to assemble and peer-review its pathway modules. The integration of ORCID within Reactome enables us to meet a key challenge with authoring, curating and reviewing biological information by incentivizing and crediting the external experts that contribute their expertise and time to the Reactome curation process. More information is available at ORCID and Reactome.

If you have an ORCID ID that is not listed on this page, please forward this information to us and we will update your Reactome pathway records.

commentFUNCTION 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).SUBUNIT Interacts with the activin type-1 receptor ACVR1B.SUBCELLULAR LOCATION Released from the cell membrane by GPI cleavage.TISSUE SPECIFICITY Preferentially expressed in gastric and colorectal carcinomas than in their normal counterparts. Expressed in breast and lung.PTM The GPI-anchor is attached to the protein in the endoplasmic reticulum and serves to target the protein to the cell surface. There, it is processed by GPI processing phospholipase A2 (TMEM8A), removing an acyl-chain at the sn-2 position of GPI and releasing CRIPTO as a lysophosphatidylinositol-bearing form, which is further cleaved by phospholipase D (GPLD1) into a soluble form.SIMILARITY Belongs to the EGF-CFC (Cripto-1/FRL1/Cryptic) family.
