Abstract:Introduction
C1Q Tumor Necrosis Factor related Peptide 8 (CTRP8) is the one of the least characterized members of the C1Q/TNF family of proteins which is engaged in diverse functions ranging from metabolism to immunity and is one of only two CTRP family members absent in the mouse genome. CTRP8 was identified in our lab as a novel ligand of the RXFP1 receptor and was found to promote invasiveness and chemoresistance to temozolomide in glioblastoma (GB)(Glogowska et al., 2013; Thanasupawat et al., 2018).
