The CRACD-L protein is proline rich and asparagine, isoleucine, phenylalanine, and tyrosine poor.
[12] The CRACD-L protein has one domain called the DUF4592 motif and spans amino acids 131–239.
The CRACD-L protein predicted secondary structure is composed of 50% alpha helixes, 8.9% beta sheets, and 17.9% turns.
[7] The orthologs, including the elephant shark, horse, rock dove, and chimp, are also predicted to be located in the nucleus.
[19] The promoter region of CRACDL is approximately 1340 base pairs with various predicted transcription factors.
[20] The glial cells missing homolog 1 and the oligodendrocyte lineage transcription factors are notable because CRACDL is highly expressed in the brain.
[23] The proteins it phosphorylates are the principle components of neurofibrillary tangles in Alzheimer disease.
[5][6][8][9] The interaction between GSK3B and CRACDL was predicted using anti bait coimmunoprecipitation, pull down, tandem affinity purification, fluorescence polarization spectroscopy, protein kinases assay, two hybrid, and confocal microscopy experiments.
[27] The KIAA1211 has an ortholog in the bacteria Proteus vulgarism, indicating the paralog duplicated 4290 million years ago, before KIAA1211L.
The CRACDL gene is similar and conserved in mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, and fish.
