CTGF also known as CCN2 or connective tissue growth factor is a matricellular protein of the CCN family of extracellular matrix-associated heparin-binding proteins (see also CCN intercellular signaling protein). CTGF has important roles in many biological processes including cell adhesion migration proliferation angiogenesis skeletal development and tissue wound repair and is critically involved in fibrotic disease and several forms of cancers.
