Opis

Opis ogólny

The CTGF (connective tissue growth factor) gene is mapped to human chromosome 6q23.2. The encoded protein contains five domains namely, secretory signal peptide, insulin-like growth factor-binding protein, von Willebrand factor type C repeat, thrombospondin type-1 repeat and C-terminal cystine-knot-containing domain. Th gene is broadly expressed in many cells including fibroblasts, myofibroblasts, endothelial cells, smooth muscle cells and some epithelial cell types. It is either released to extracellular matrix or is located on the cell membrane.

Zastosowanie

All Prestige Antibodies Powered by Atlas Antibodies are developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project and as a result, are supported by the most extensive characterization in the industry.

The Human Protein Atlas project can be subdivided into three efforts: Human Tissue Atlas, Cancer Atlas, and Human Cell Atlas. The antibodies that have been generated in support of the Tissue and Cancer Atlas projects have been tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues and through the recent efforts of the Human Cell Atlas project, many have been characterized by immunofluorescence to map the human proteome not only at the tissue level but now at the subcellular level. These images and the collection of this vast data set can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link. We also provide Prestige Antibodies^® protocols and other useful information.

Działania biochem./fizjol.

CTGF (connective tissue growth factor) regulates cell communication with the extracellular matrix also inducing collagen deposition, stimulation and differentiation of mesenchymal cells and tissue remodeling. Abnormal expression of CTGF is associated with pathological conditions such as arthritis, fibrosis, and cancers. CTGF might control epithelial-mesenchymal transition, a signal pathway that contains an important step associated with tumor cell metastasis, in many types of cancer. Overexpression of CTGF enhances esophageal squamous cell carcinoma by associating with TGF-β (transforming growth factor β) pathway. It is involved in the development of fibrotic tissues in different types of organs. Overexpression of CTGF leads to fibrosis in many disease condition. Overexpression of CTGF is observed in joint capsule during joint contracture. CTGF is associated with inflammation reactions and controls macrophage adhesion and migration.

Cechy i korzyści

Prestige Antibodies^® are highly characterized and extensively validated antibodies with the added benefit of all available characterization data for each target being accessible via the Human Protein Atlas portal linked just below the product name at the top of this page. The uniqueness and low cross-reactivity of the Prestige Antibodies^® to other proteins are due to a thorough selection of antigen regions, affinity purification, and stringent selection. Prestige antigen controls are available for every corresponding Prestige Antibody and can be found in the linkage section.

Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways:

• IHC tissue array of 44 normal human tissues and 20 of the most common cancer type tissues.
• Protein array of 364 human recombinant protein fragments.
