Anti-Protein CYR61 CYR61 Antibody

Protein CYR61; CCN family member 1; Cysteine-rich angiogenic inducer 61; Insulin-like growth factor-binding protein 10; IBP-10; IGF-binding protein 10; IGFBP-10; Protein GIG1; CYR61; CCN1, GIG1, IGFBP10;

Promotes cell proliferation, chemotaxis, angiogenesis and cell adhesion. Appears to play a role in wound healing by up- regulating, in skin fibroblasts, the expression of a number of genes involved in angiogenesis, inflammation and matrix remodeling including VEGA-A, VEGA-C, MMP1, MMP3, TIMP1, uPA, PAI-1 and integrins alpha-3 and alpha-5. CYR61-mediated gene regulation is dependent on heparin-binding. Down-regulates the expression of alpha-1 and alpha-2 subunits of collagen type-1. Promotes cell adhesion and adhesive signaling through integrin alpha-6/beta-1, cell migration through integrin alpha-v/beta-5 and cell proliferation through integrin alpha-v/beta-3.
