| Catalog Number | CGF-001 |
| Size | 5µg;20µg;1mg |
| Description | Connective Tissue Growth Factor belongs to the CCN protein family. The CCN family currently comprises six members in humans, also known as: Cyr61 (Cysteine-rich 61), CTGF (Connective Tissue Growth Factor), Nov (Nephroblastoma Overexpression Gene), and WISP-1, 2, and 3 (Wnt-1-induced secreted proteins). CCN genes encode secreted proteins associated with the extracellular matrix (ECM) and cell membranes. CCN proteins are extracellular matrix proteins involved in the regulation of various cellular functions, including proliferation, differentiation, survival, adhesion, and migration. They are expressed in derivatives of the embryonic three germ layers and participate in the development of the kidneys, nervous system, muscles, bone marrow, cartilage, and skeleton. In adulthood, they are involved in wound healing, fracture repair, and pathological processes such as fibrosis, vascular diseases, and tumorigenesis. |
| Application | This product can be used for research on regulating fibroblast proliferation and extracellular matrix production in connective tissue engineering with human CTGF. |
| Molecular Weight | 11.2 kDa |
| Species | Human |
| Source | E.coli |
| Appearance | Sterile-filtered white lyophilized powder |
| Purity | ≥ 90% by SDS-PAGE |
| Activity | Activity was determined by dose-dependent stimulation of HUVEC cell proliferation. The expected ED₅₀ for this effect is 1-2 µg/mL, corresponding to a specific activity of 500-1,000 units/mg. |
| Redissolution | It is recommended to reconstitute lyophilized CTGF with sterile 18 MΩ·cm H₂O to a concentration of at least 100 µg/mL, after which it may be further diluted into other aqueous solutions. |
| Formulation | CTGF was lyophilized from a solution of sterile filtered water containing 0.1% trifluoroacetic acid (TFA). |

| Storage | Store at room temperature for 3 weeks, or in a dry environment at -18°C or below. After reconstitution, store at 4°C for 2-7 days; thereafter, store at -18°C or below for future use. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. |
