Chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan 4 (CSPG4) or nerve/glial antigen 2 (NG2) is a growth-inhibitory chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan (CSPG) produced after spinal cord injury. It has a single glycosaminoglycan (GAG) chain. The protein belongs to the transmembrane chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans family.
