CCN2/CTGF Protein, Rat (HEK293)

Customer Review

Based on 1 Customer Validation

The CCN2/CTGF protein is a major connective tissue mitochondrial attractant secreted by vascular endothelial cells and critical for chondrocyte proliferation and differentiation. Additionally, it mediates heparin- and divalent cation-dependent cell adhesion in various cell types, including fibroblasts, myofibroblasts, endothelial cells, and epithelial cells. CCN2/CTGF Protein, Rat (HEK293) is the recombinant rat-derived CCN2/CTGF protein, expressed by HEK293 , with tag free.

Biological Activity

Description

The CCN2/CTGF protein is a major connective tissue mitochondrial attractant secreted by vascular endothelial cells and critical for chondrocyte proliferation and differentiation. Additionally, it mediates heparin- and divalent cation-dependent cell adhesion in various cell types, including fibroblasts, myofibroblasts, endothelial cells, and epithelial cells. CCN2/CTGF Protein, Rat (HEK293) is the recombinant rat-derived CCN2/CTGF protein, expressed by HEK293 , with tag free.

Background

CCN2/CTGF protein, a major connective tissue mitoattractant, is secreted by vascular endothelial cells. It plays a crucial role in promoting the proliferation and differentiation of chondrocytes. Additionally, CCN2/CTGF mediates heparin- and divalent cation-dependent cell adhesion in various cell types, including fibroblasts, myofibroblasts, endothelial cells, and epithelial cells. Furthermore, it enhances fibroblast growth factor-induced DNA synthesis. CCN2/CTGF exists as a monomer and interacts with TSKU.

Verified Bioactivity

Measured by its ability to mediate Balb/3T3 mouse embryonic fibroblast cell adhesion. The ED50 for this effect is 1.921 μg/mL
