Connective tissue growth factor: a mediator of TGF-β action on fibroblasts

1 Sept 1997

Abstract excerpt

Connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) is a cysteine-rich mitogenic peptide that binds heparin and is secreted by fibroblasts after activation with transforming growth factor beta (TGF-beta). CTGF is a member of a highly conserved family of peptides that include immediate early gene products cef10, cyr61, fisp12; a putative avian proto-oncogene, nov; and a drosophila gene, twisted gastrulation, tsg, that controls...
