-   CARP is a marker of skeletal muscle pathological remodeling. CARP mRNA is greatly upregulated in muscular dystrophy models [PMID: 19143834].
-   CARP gene expression in rat muscle is up-regulated at 6h after high resistance contractions. CARP may be induced by the stress of contractile activity and may act to maintain skeletal muscle in the differentiated state [PMID: 12433947].
