Description
Rabbit IgG polyclonal Picoband? antibody for Connective tissue growth factor(CTGF) detection. Tested with WB, IHC-P in Human;Rat. No cross reactivity with other proteins. CTGF, also known as CCN2 or connective tissue growth factor, is a matricellular protein of the CCN family of extracellular matrix-associated heparin-binding proteins (see also CCN intercellular signaling protein). CTGF has important roles in many biological processes, including cell adhesion, migration, proliferation, angiogenesis, skeletal development, and tissue wound repair, and is critically involved in fibrotic disease and several forms of cancers. The protein encoded by this gene is a mitogen that is secreted by vascular endothelial cells. And the encoded protein plays a role in chondrocyte proliferation and differentiation, cell adhesion in many cell types, and is related to platelet-derived growth factor. Certain polymorphisms in this gene have been linked with a higher incidence of systemic sclerosis.
Immunogen
E.coli-derived human CTGF recombinant protein (Position: R58-A349). Human CTGF shares 95.5% and 95.9% amino acid (aa) sequence identity with mouse and rat CTGF, respectively.
