products description :
CTGF belongs to the CCN (CYR61/CTGF/NOV) family of secreted proteins that share a common multimodular organization. Each protein contains an IGF-binding protein domain, a von Willebrand factor type C domain, a thrombospondin type I domain, and a cysteine knot domain. The multimodular CTGF has the ability to bind multiple ligands and has numerous effects on development, differentation, and disease. The C-terminal cysteine knot motif contains the heparin and low density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) binding sites that contribute to the adhesive and mitogenic properties of CTGF.

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]
