The CTGF ELISA kits listed below utilize specific antibodies for the plate-based assay of CTGF in various samples. CTGF is another term for the CCN2 gene, which encodes the protein, cellular communication network factor 2 in humans. It has been reported that CTGF plays a role in pathways of aging and angiogenesis, among other functions. Structurally, the CCN2 protein is 349 amino acid residues in length and 38.1 kilodaltons in mass. However, as many as 2 protein isoforms have been identified. Its subcellular localization is in the extracellular matrix and is secreted. In terms of tissue specificity, it is reported to be expressed in bone marrow and thymic cells. This protein is known to be glycosylated. Other names for this target antigen include HCS24 and IGFBP8.
Some CTGF ELISA kits can detect targets at levels as low as 0.78 pg/mL and as high as 200 ng/mL. Click on the following ELISA kits for more detailed information, including target reactivity and assay sensitivity.
