CTGF belongs to the CCN (CTGF/Cyr61/Cef10/NOVH) protein family, which is comprised of six secreted proteins that reside in the extracellular matrix (ECM). CTGF causes a variety of cellular responses including reduced cell adhesion and enhanced cell migration and proliferation. CTGF has also been shown to be essential for epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT), a process whereby normal functioning cells morph into ones that produce mainly scar tissue (of which collagen in the major protein component).

Construction | Recombinant Human Connective Tissue Growth Factor is produced by our Mammalian expression system and the target gene encoding Gln27-Ala349 is expressed with a human IgG1 Fc tag at the C-terminus. |
Protein Purity | Greater than 90% as determined by reducing SDS-PAGE. (QC verified) |
Molecular Weight | 67-81 KDa, reducing conditions |
Endotoxin | Less than 0.1 ng/µg (1 EU/µg) as determined by LAL test. |
Formulation | Lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered solution of PBS, pH 7.4. |
Reconstitution | Always centrifuge tubes before opening.Do not mix by vortex or pipetting. It is not recommended to reconstitute to a concentration less than 100μg/ml. Dissolve the lyophilized protein in distilled water. Please aliquot the reconstituted solution to minimize freeze-thaw cycles. |
Stability & Storage |
Lyophilized protein should be stored at ≤ -20°C, stable for one year after receipt. Reconstituted protein solution can be stored at 2-8°C for 2-7 days. Aliquots of reconstituted samples are stable at ≤ -20°C for 3 months. |
Shipping |
The product is shipped at ambient temperature. Upon receipt, store it immediately at the temperature listed below. |
