What is CTHRC1 protein?

CTHRC1 protein, also known as Collagen Triple Helix Repeat Containing 1, is a secreted protein that plays a role in regulating cell migration, invasion, and tissue remodeling. It is highly expressed in various cancer types and has been shown to promote metastasis by enhancing the ability of cancer cells to invade surrounding tissues. CTHRC1 may also be involved in regulating collagen synthesis and deposition, as well as angiogenesis. Further research is needed to fully understand the function and potential therapeutic targets of CTHRC1 in cancer and other diseases.
