Cat. No.	Z102029
Name	Recombinant Human CTGF (E. coli)
Description	Secreted by vascular endothelial cells, CTGF is a regulatory protein that has been shown to stimulate the growth of chondrocytes, promote angiogenesis and mediate cell adhesion of fibroblasts and endothelial cells. The binding of CTGF to heparin induces cell migration and adhesion.
Organism	Human (H. sapiens)
Storage Condition	Ice Pack
Unit quantity	1.0 mg
Family	CNTF/CCN Families
Tag	Tag Free
Aliases	CTGF, HCS24, IBP-8, IGFBP8, NOV2
Gene Symbol	CTGF
Gene ID	1490
Accession Number	P29279
Source	E. coli
Species	Human (H. sapiens)
Appearance	Lyophilized Powder
Molecular Weight	11.3 kDa
Endotoxin Level	<1.0 EU/µg of recombinant protein as determined by the LAL method.
Purity	>95% as determined by SDS-PAGE
Formulation	Lyophilized from a 0.2µm filtered solution containing 0.1% TFA
Function	Determined by the dose-dependent stimulation of the proliferation of HUVEC cells. The expected ED50 for this effect is 1.0-2.0 µg/ml.
Reconstitution	A quick spin of the vial followed by reconstitution in sterile distilled water to a concentration not less than 0.1 mg/mL. This solution can then be diluted into other buffers.
Shipping Conditions	This lyophilized protein is shipped at ambient temperature. Cold packs may be used if transit temperatures are elevated. The product remains stable during normal shipping conditions.
Storage	Upon receipt, store lyophilized protein at –70°C for long-term storage. Short-term storage at –20°C is acceptable if necessary. Once reconstituted, store at 2–8°C for up to 1 month, or at –20°C for up to 6 months. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.
Usage	For research use only. Not for diagnostic or therapeutic use.
Material Citation	If use of this material results in a scientific publication, please cite the material in the following manner: Applied Biological Materials Inc, Cat. No. Z102029

How do I choose the right growth factor for my experiment?

Cell type: Different cells respond to different growth factors. Choose a growth factor that promotes the growth or differentiation of your target cell type.
Desired outcome: Whether you are studying proliferation, differentiation, or survival, different growth factors will promote different cellular behaviors.
Concentration and formulation: Different experiments may require varying concentrations of growth factors.

	What is the shelf life and storage condition of this product?
	The lyophilized protein is stable for at least one year from date of receipt at -70°C. Upon reconstitution, this cytokine can be stored in working aliquots at 2° - 8°C for one month, or at -20°C for six months, with a carrier protein without detectable loss of activity. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.
