Recombinant Human CTGF protein, His-tagged

• Cat.No.: CTGF-392H
• Product Overview: Recombinant Human CTGF protein (Gln27-Ala349), fused to His tag at C-terminus, was expressed in human 293 cells (HEK293).

Specification

• Species: Human
• Source: HEK293
• Tag: His
• Protein Length: 323
• Description: Connective Tissue Growth Factor (CTGF), also known as CCN2, is a member of the CCN (CCN1-6) family of modular matricellular proteins. Like other CCN proteins, mature human CTGF consists of IGF-binding protein domain, a vWF-C domain, a TSP-1 domain, and a cysteine knot heparin-binding domain. CTGF 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. Analysis of CCN2 function in vivo has focused primarily on its key role as a mediator of excess ECM synthesis in multiple fibrotic diseases.
• Form: Lyophilized from 0.22 um filtered solution in Tris with Potassium glutamate and Arginine, pH7.0, 10% trehalose.
• Molecular Mass: The protein has a calculated MW of 37.4 kDa. The protein migrates as 38-45 kDa under reducing (R) condition (SDS-PAGE) due to glycosylation.
• Endotoxin: Less than 1.0 EU per ug by the LAL method.
• Purity: >90% as determined by SDS-PAGE.
• Storage: For long term storage, the product should be stored at lyophilized state at -20 centigrade or lower.
  Please avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
  This product is stable after storage at:
  -20 centigrade to -70 centigrade for 12 months in lyophilized state;
  -70 centigrade for 3 months under sterile conditions after reconstitution.
• Reconstitution: It is recommended that sterile water be added to the vial to prepare a stock solution of 0.2 ug/ul. Centrifuge the vial at 4℃ before opening to recover the entire contents.
