Objective:
To know the basic research and the clinical application of cartilage-derived retinoic acid-sensitive protein (CD-RAP) in orthopedic and in other clinical fields.
Methods:
The literature related to CD-RAP in basic research and clinical application were extensively reviewed.
Results:
CD-RAP, as a protein, which is cartilage-specific, could be a marker of the joint diseases. It also can be used to monitor metastasis of melanoma.
Conclusion:
CD-RAP test provides a new way to study repair of cartilage and metastasis of melanoma.
