Descripción

General description

Connective Tissue Growth Factor (CTGF) is a member of the CNN family of growth factors that are characterized as having cysteine-rich peptides with four specific domains. CTGF was originally identified in endothelial cells as a significant chemotactic and mitogenic factor. Research has revealed CTGF to have several biological properties which include chemotaxis, cell proliferation, promotion of adhesion and the formation of extracellular matrix. It is also necessary for such biological processes as wound healing, scar formation, fibrosis, embryogenesis and angiogenesis. In its role as an inducer of angiogenesis, CTGF has been associated with vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). As a result of its pro-fibrotic properties, CTGF is thought to be a promising target for therapy in conditions involving pathological fibrosis such as chronic fibrotic disease, chronic kidney disease and proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR). Cell types found to express CTGF are endothelial cells, fibroblasts and vascular smooth-muscle cells.
