CTGFL Recombinant Protein

Recombinant Proteins

The lyophilized CTGFL recombinant protein is stable for at least 2 years from date of receipt at -20˚ C. Reconstituted CTGFL is stable for at least 3 months when stored in working aliquots with a carrier protein at -20˚ C. As with any protein, exposing CTGFL recombinant protein to repeated freeze / thaw cycles is not recommended. When working with proteins care should be taken to keep recombinant protein at a cool and stable temperature.

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. Recombinant human CTGFL/WISP-2 is a 24.3 kDa protein of 228 amino acid residues.
