CCN2/CTGF Protein, Human (Biotinylated, HEK293, His-Avi)

CCN2/CTGF (Connective Tissue Growth Factor) is a protein produced primarily by endothelial cells in blood vessels. It plays an important role in various cellular processes. CCN2/CTGF Protein, Human (Biotinylated, HEK293, His-Avi) is the recombinant human-derived CCN2/CTGF protein, expressed by HEK293 , with C-Avi, C-His labeled tag. The total length of CCN2/CTGF Protein, Human (Biotinylated, HEK293, His-Avi) is 323 a.a., with molecular weight of 43-55 kDa.

CCN2/CTGF (Connective Tissue Growth Factor) is a protein primarily produced by vascular endothelial cells. It plays a significant role in various cellular processes. One of its main functions is to attract and stimulate the proliferation and differentiation of chondrocytes, which are cells involved in the formation of cartilage. Additionally, CCN2/CTGF mediates cell adhesion in various cell types, including fibroblasts, myofibroblasts, endothelial cells, and epithelial cells. This adhesion is dependent on the presence of heparin (a polysaccharide) and divalent cations (such as calcium or magnesium). Furthermore, CCN2/CTGF enhances the DNA synthesis induced by fibroblast growth factors, which are proteins involved in cell growth and repair. Overall, CCN2/CTGF is an important protein that regulates cellular processes such as chondrocyte function, cell adhesion, and DNA synthesis, contributing to the development and maintenance of connective tissues.
