CCN2/CTGF Protein, Mouse (GST)

CCN2/CTGF protein is a major connective tissue mitochondrial attractant secreted by vascular endothelial cells and promotes chondrocyte proliferation and differentiation. It mediates heparin- and divalent cation-dependent cell adhesion in various cell types, including fibroblasts, myofibroblasts, endothelial cells, and epithelial cells. CCN2/CTGF Protein, Mouse (GST) is the recombinant mouse-derived CCN2/CTGF protein, expressed by E. coli , with N-GST labeled tag. The total length of CCN2/CTGF Protein, Mouse (GST) is 319 a.a., with molecular weight of ~62 kDa.

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.

Measured by its ability to mediate Balb/3T3 mouse embryonic fibroblast cell adhesion. The ED₅₀ for this effect is 1.824 μg/mL.

It is not recommended to reconstitute to a concentration less than 100 μg/mL in ddH₂O.

Stored at -20°C for 2 years. After reconstitution, it is stable at 4°C for 1 week or -20°C for longer (with carrier protein). It is recommended to freeze aliquots at -20°C or -80°C for extended storage.
