Supplementary information

CTGF also known as Connective Tissue Growth Factor is a significant protein in the CCN family involved in regulating various cellular functions. CTGF has a molecular weight of approximately 36-38 kDa. It is highly expressed in tissues such as the skin kidney and vascular tissues. This protein is secreted and can be found in the extracellular matrix where it interacts with other cellular components to mediate its effects.
Biological function summary

Connective Tissue Growth Factor plays an important role in cell adhesion proliferation and differentiation. It operates as an independent protein but can also be part of the extracellular matrix structure. CTGF functions as a mediator in the interaction between cells and their surrounding environment influencing processes such as angiogenesis and wound healing through these interactions.

Pathways

CTGF fits into the TGF-beta and Wnt signaling pathways where it helps modulate cellular responses to external stimuli. It interacts with proteins like fibronectin and integrins within these pathways enhancing cellular communication and response. These pathways are fundamental for both development and pathological conditions showing CTGF's influence on various biological processes.

CTGF shows a strong connection with fibrosis and cancer. In fibrotic conditions the CTGF protein interacts with collagen and fibronectin leading to excessive deposition in tissues. In cancers CTGF may promote tumor progression by facilitating angiogenesis and promoting invasive behaviors in tumors. These interactions highlight CTGF's role as a target for therapeutic strategies aimed at treating these diseases.

Target data

Major connective tissue mitoattractant secreted by vascular endothelial cells. Promotes proliferation and differentiation of chondrocytes. Is involved in the stimulation of osteoblast differentiation and has a critical role in osteogenesis (PubMed : 39414788). Mediates heparin- and divalent cation-dependent cell adhesion in many cell types including fibroblasts, myofibroblasts, endothelial and epithelial cells. Enhances fibroblast growth factor-induced DNA synthesis.
