    Glossary Connective Tissue Growth Factor

    protein involved in cell growth and tissue repair

    Connective Tissue Growth Factor (CTGF), also known as CCN2, is a protein that plays a crucial role in cell growth, differentiation, and tissue repair. It is particularly important in the formation of connective tissues, such as skin, tendons, and cartilage, and is involved in wound healing and fibrosis. Elevated levels of CTGF are often associated with fibrotic diseases, where excessive tissue formation can lead to organ dysfunction.
