Rabbit Anti-CTGF/FITC Conjugated antibody
background:
The protein encoded by this gene is a mitogen that is secreted by vascular endothelial cells. The encoded protein plays a role in chondrocyte proliferation and differentiation, cell adhesion in many cell types, and is related to platelet-derived growth factor. Certain polymorphisms in this gene have been linked with a higher incidence of systemic sclerosis. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2009].
Function:
Major connective tissue mitoattractant secreted by vascular endothelial cells. Promotes proliferation and differentiation of chondrocytes. Mediates heparin- and divalent cation-dependent cell adhesion in many cell types including fibroblasts, myofibroblasts, endothelial and epithelial cells. Enhances fibroblast growth factor-induced DNA synthesis.
Subunit:
Monomer.
Subcellular Location:
Secreted, extracellular space, extracellular matrix. Secreted.
Tissue Specificity:
Expressed in bone marrow and thymic cells. Also expressed one of two Wilms tumors tested.
Similarity:
Belongs to the CCN family.
Contains 1 CTCK (SLCterminal cystine knot-like) domain.
Contains 1 IGFBP N-terminal domain.
Contains 1 TSP type-1 domain.
Contains 1 VWFC domain.
