Connective Tissue Growth Factor

A CCN protein family member that regulates a variety of extracellular functions including CELL ADHESION; CELL MIGRATION; and EXTRACELLULAR MATRIX synthesis. It is found in hypertrophic CHONDROCYTES where it may play a role in CHONDROGENESIS and endochondral ossification.

Also Known As:

CCN2 Protein; Hypertrophic Chondrocyte-Specific Protein 24; IGF-Binding Protein-Related Protein-2; IGFBP-8; IGFBP-rP2; Insulin-Like Growth Factor Binding Protein 8; Hypertrophic Chondrocyte Specific Protein 24; IGF Binding Protein Related Protein 2; Insulin Like Growth Factor Binding Protein 8
