| Gene name: | Ctgf(Ccn2); |
| Protein name: | Connective tissue growth factor; |
| Alternative: | CCN family member 2;Connective tissue growth-related protein; |
| Organism: | Rat (Rattus norvegicus). |
| Sub Unit: | N/A |
| Function: | Major connective tissue mitoattractant secreted by vascular endothelial cells. Promotes proliferation and differentiation of chondrocytes (By similarity). Mediates heparin-and divalent cation-dependent cell adhesion in many cell types including fibroblasts, myofibroblasts, endothelial and epithelial cells (By similarity). Enhances fibroblast growth factor-induced DNA synthesis. |
