Immunohistochemistry (IHC)

(Immunohistochemical analysis of CTGF staining in human lung cancer formalin fixed paraffin embedded tissue section. The section was pre-treated using heat mediated antigen retrieval with sodium citrate buffer (pH 6.0). The section was then incubated with the antibody at room temperature and detected using an HRP conjugated compact polymer system. DAB was used as the chromogen. The section was then counterstained with haematoxylin and mounted with DPX.)

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.

Protein type: Secreted; Cell adhesion; Secreted, signal peptide

Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 6q23.1

Cellular Component: extracellular region; Golgi apparatus; intracellular membrane-bound organelle; plasma membrane

Molecular Function: heparin binding; integrin binding; protein binding; protein C-terminus binding

Biological Process: cell adhesion; cell-cell signaling; epidermis development; positive regulation of cell differentiation; positive regulation of JNK cascade; positive regulation of stress fiber formation; response to wounding; transcription initiation from RNA polymerase II promoter

Product Notes

The CTGF ctgf (Catalog #AAA8247336) is an Antibody produced from Rabbit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The Anti-CTGF Antibody reacts with Human, Mouse, Rat and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. AAA Biotech's CTGF can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Western Blot (WB), Immunohistochemistry (IHC). WB: 1/500 - 1/2000; IHC: 1/20 - 1/50. 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 "CTGF, Polyclonal 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.
