| CTGF (connective tissue growth factor) is a heparin-binding pleiotropic growth factor and member of the CCN family of secreted cysteine rich regulatory proteins, which interacts with other growth factors including transforming growth factor beta (TGF-beta), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs). | | | Catalog # | C7978-25H | | CTGF promotes the adhesion of epithelial cells and fibroblasts, stimulates integrin expression, and promotes endothelial cell survival, migration and adhesion, implicating CTGF in angiogenesis. CTGF is involved in chondrogenesis and potentially skeletogenesis, induces extracellular matrix formation and has also been implicated in wound healing. | | Source | Recombinant corrresponding to human CTGF expressed in E.coli. | | Molecular Weight | ~11.2kD (98aa residues) | | Activity | Determined by the dose-dependent stimulation of the proliferation of HUVEC cells. The expected ED50 for this effect is 1.0-2.0 µg/ml. | | Endotoxin | 1EU/ug | | Applications | Suitable for use in ELISA, Functional Assays and Western Blot. Other applications not tested. | | Recommended Dilution | Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher. | | Storage and Stability | | | Lyophilized powder may be stored at -20°C. Stable for 12 months at -20°C. Reconstitute with 200ul sterile dH2O. Aliquot and store at -20°C. Reconstituted product is stable for 6 months at -20°C. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer. | | Source | Recombinant, expressed in E. coli | | Purity | Purified: ~95% (SDS PAGE/HPLC) | | Form | Supplied as a lyophilized powder in 10mM sodium acetate. Preservative free. Reconstitute with 200ul sterile dH2O. | | | Important Note | This product as supplied is intended for research use only, not for use in human, therapeutic or diagnostic applications without the expressed written authorization of United States Biological. | | Alternate names | Hypertrophic Chondrocyte-specific Protein 24 |
