specificity :
The antibody is a Mouse monoclonal antibody raised against CTGF. It has been selected for its ability to recognize CTGF in immunohistochemical staining and western blotting.
purity :
Protein A/G Affinity Chromatography
form :
Supplied as solution form in 0.01M PBS, pH7.4, containing 0.05% Proclin-300, 50% glycerol
storage stability :
Storage: Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles. Store at 4 degree C for frequent use. Aliquot and store at -20 degree C for 12 months. Stability Test: The thermal stability is described by the loss rate. The loss rate was determined by accelerated thermal degradation test, that is, incubate the protein at 37 degree C for 48h, and no obvious degradation and precipitation were observed. The loss rate is less than 5% within the expiration date under appropriate storage condition.
tested application :
WB; IHC; ICC; IP.
app notes :
Western blotting: 0.5-5µg/mL. Immunohistochemistry: 5-30µg/mL. Immunocytochemistry: 5-30µg/mL. Optimal working dilutions must be determined by end user

ncbi summary :
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]
uniprot summary :
CTGF: 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. Belongs to the CCN family. 2 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing. Protein type: Cell adhesion; Secreted; Secreted, signal peptide. Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 6q23.2. Cellular Component: cell cortex; cis-Golgi network; cytosol; extracellular region; extracellular space; Golgi apparatus; intracellular membrane-bound organelle; perinuclear region of cytoplasm; plasma membrane; proteinaceous extracellular matrix.
