Purified recombinant Human CTGFL protein Expression System: E.coli Bioactivity: The ED50 was determined by its ability to inhibit IGF-II induced proliferation of MCF-7 is between 10-20 ng/mL in the presence of 15 ng/mL of human IGF-II.
CTGFL/WISP-2 is a 24.3 kDa protein that belongs to the CCN family of cysteine rich regulatory proteins. Members of this family stimulate mitosis, adhesion, apoptosis, extracellular matrix production, growth arrest, and migration of multiple cell types. The protein is expressed in primary osteoblasts, fibroblasts, ovary, testes, and heart. In addition to promoting adhesion of osteoblasts, CTGFL/WISP-2 inhibits osteocalcin production, as well as binding of fibrinogen to integrin receptors. Alternative Names: WISP2 protein, CCN5 protein, CT-58 protein, Connective Tissue Growth Factor-Like protein protein
