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.

Connective tissue growth factor; CCN family member 2; Hypertrophic chondrocyte-specific protein 24; Insulin-like growth factor-binding protein 8; CTGF; IGFBP8

62.6 KDa

67-81 KDa, reducing conditions

Lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered solution of PBS, pH 7.4.

Less than 0.1 ng/µg (1 EU/µg) as determined by LAL test.

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. 

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.

The product is shipped at ambient temperature.
Upon receipt, store it immediately at the temperature listed below.

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).
