Antigen-specific Affinity Chromatography
form :
Supplied as solution form in PBS, pH7.4, containing 0.02% NaN3, 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.

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, signal peptide; Secreted. Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 6q23.1. Cellular Component: Golgi apparatus; proteinaceous extracellular matrix; extracellular space; cis-Golgi network; intracellular membrane-bound organelle; perinuclear region of cytoplasm; plasma membrane; extracellular region; cell cortex; cytosol.
