Mouse anti-Rat Connective Tissue Growth Factor (CTGF) Monoclonal Antibody | anti-CTGF antibody
FITC-Linked Monoclonal Antibody to Connective Tissue Growth Factor (CTGF)
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
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 Description
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.

Product Notes
The CTGF ctgf (Catalog #AAA2035000) is an Antibody produced from Mouse and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The FITC-Linked Monoclonal Antibody to Connective Tissue Growth Factor (CTGF) reacts with Rat and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. AAA Biotech's Connective Tissue Growth Factor (CTGF) can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Western Blot (WB), Immunocytochemistry (ICC), Immunohistochemistry (IHC), Immunoprecipitation (IP), ELISA (EIA). Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the CTGF ctgf for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Connective Tissue Growth Factor (CTGF), Monoclonal Antibody" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
