Connective Tissue Growth Factor (CTGF), also known as CCN2, is a member of the CCN (CCN1-6) family of modular matricellular proteins.
Like other CCN proteins, mature human CTGF consists of IGF-binding protein domain, a vWF-C domain, a TSP-1 domain, and a cysteine knot heparin-binding domain.
CTGF promotes proliferation and differentiation of chondrocytes.
Mediates heparin- and divalent cation-dependent cell adhesion in many cell types including fibroblasts, myofibroblasts, endothelial and epithelial cells.
Enhances fibroblast growth factor-induced DNA synthesis.
Analysis of CCN2 function in vivo has focused primarily on its key role as a mediator of excess ECM synthesis in multiple fibrotic diseases.
特徴
This protein carries a polyhistidine tag at the C-terminus.
The protein has a calculated MW of 37.3 kDa.
The protein migrates as 37-40 kDa under reducing (R) condition (SDS-PAGE) due to glycosylation.
