Target/Specificity | This CTGF antibody is generated from rabbits immunized with a KLH conjugated synthetic peptide between 315-349 amino acids from the C-terminal region of human CTGF. |
Dilution | WB~~1:1000 IHC-P~~1:10~50 |
Format | Purified polyclonal antibody supplied in PBS with 0.09% (W/V) sodium azide. This antibody is prepared by Saturated Ammonium Sulfate (SAS) precipitation followed by dialysis against PBS. |
Storage | Maintain refrigerated at 2-8°C for up to 2 weeks. For long term storage store at -20°C in small aliquots to prevent freeze-thaw cycles. |
Precautions | CTGF Antibody (C-term) is for research use only and not for use in diagnostic or therapeutic procedures. |
Name | CCN2 (HGNC:2500) |
---|---|
Function | 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. |
Cellular Location | Secreted, extracellular space, extracellular matrix {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P29268}. Secreted {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P29268} |
Tissue Location | Expressed in bone marrow and thymic cells. Also expressed one of two Wilms tumors tested. |
