CTGF modulates cell cycle progression in cAMP-arrested NRK fibroblasts
1 Jan 2000
Abstract excerpt
Connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) is a 38-kDa cysteine-rich peptide, whose synthesis and secretion are selectively induced by transforming growth factor beta (TGF-beta) in connective tissue cells. Previous studies have demonstrated that CTGF functions as a downstream mediator of TGF-beta mitogenic activity, where it controls cell cycle progression through late G1 and S-phase entry of NRK fibroblast...
