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 is expressed both in ES cells and during the early phases of embryo development, while in adults it is reactivated in a wide range of epithelial cancers. This protein could play a role in the determination of the epiblastic cells that subsequently give rise to the mesoderm. It is preferentially expressed in gastric and colorectal carcinomas compared to their normal counterparts.
