Scientific Background
Human CTGF/CCN2 Protein — also known as CCN family member 2; CTGF; Connective tissue growth factor; Hypertrophic chondrocyte-specific protein 24; IGFBP8; Insuli — CTGF belongs to the CCN (CTGF/Cyr61/Cef10/NOVH) protein family; which is comprised of six secreted proteins that reside in the extracellular matrix (ECM). CTGF causes a variety of cellular responses including reduced cell adhesion and enhanced cell migration and proliferation. CTGF has also been shown to be essential for epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT); a process whereby normal functioning cells morph into ones that produce mainly scar tissue (of which collagen in the major protein component).
Research into Human CTGF/CCN2 Protein supports investigations in immune regulation and inflammatory responses, with implications for cytokine biology.
Product Description
HEK293 Mammalian CellsC-Fc
Produced in HEK293 Mammalian Cells, preserving native glycosylation patterns and supporting biological activity in cell-based assays.
The C-Fc enables single-step affinity purification and can also serve as a handle for direct detection using anti-tag antibodies without target-specific reagents.
Expression region: Gln27-Ala349.

This protein is produced in HEK293 mammalian cells. Mammalian expression preserves glycosylation and folding closest to the native protein, supporting biological activity in cell assays.
Purity: > 90% as determined by reducing SDS-PAGE., confirmed by reducing SDS-PAGE. Endotoxin level: < 1.0 EU per μg of the protein as determined by the LAL method., measured by LAL assay — critical for cell-based studies. Identity is verified by peptide mapping or N-terminal sequencing on request.
Yes — biological activity is confirmed per lot. Activity data: Not validated for activity. Run a titration in your own system to establish optimal working concentration before committing all samples.
Reconstitution: Please refer to the printed manual for detailed information.. Storage: Generally, lyophilized proteins are stable for up to 12 months when stored at -20 to -80℃. Reconstituted protein solution can be stored at 4-8℃ for 2-. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw — each cycle risks partial denaturation.
This protein is validated for ELISA, Functional Assay (In Vitro). It is commonly used as an ELISA standard, binding partner in SPR/BLI, or stimulant in cell-based functional assays. Validate performance in your specific format before use in critical experiments.
