One of two cysteine-rich domains of the corin protein, a type II transmembrane serine protease . The cysteine-rich domain (CRD) is an essential component of corin, a type II transmembrane serine protease which functions as the convertase of the pro-atrial natriuretic peptide (pro-ANP) in the heart. Corin contains two CRDs in its extracellular region, which play an important role in recognition of the physiological substrate, pro-ANP. This model characterizes the first (N-terminal) CRD.
