Connective-tissue growth factor (CTGF) modulates cell signalling by BMP and TGF-beta.

Nature cell biology - 1 Aug 2002

Abreu José G, Ketpura Nan I, Reversade Bruno, De Robertis E M

Abstract excerpt

Connective-tissue growth factor (CTGF) is a secreted protein implicated in multiple cellular events including angiogenesis, skeletogenesis and wound healing. It is a member of the CCN family of secreted proteins, named after CTGF, cysteine-rich 61 (CYR61), and nephroblastoma overexpressed (NOV) proteins. The molecular mechanism by which CTGF or other CCN proteins regulate cell signalling is not known. CTGF...
