overexpressed in normal memory B cells
basic FUNCTION
putatively involved in sperm maturation
may be playing a role in the interaction of lymphocytes with ITGA4B1-expressing leukocytes
playing a role in cell proliferation and progression of the lung carcinomas
may function as positive regulator of growth and differentiation of dental papilla mesenchymal cells and act as an important molecule mediating reciprocal epithelial-mesenchymal signaling during tooth organ development
involved in cell proliferation through enhanced bioavailability of IGFI released from the IGF1/IGFBP3 complex by selective IGFBP3 cleavage in breast carcinomas
degrading proteoglycans and may be involved in cartilage degradation in osteoarthritis
may promote angiogenesis in the breast carcinoma tissues by releasing vascular endothelial growth factor165 (VEGF165) after digestion of CTGF in the CTGF/VEGF165 complex

protein
ligand for ITGA4B1
interact with integrins and is involved in the digestion of IGFBP3 through release of IGF1, a potent inducer of cell proliferation
interacting with SELPLG (ADAM28 promotes SELPLG/P-selectin-mediated leukocyte rolling adhesion to endothelial cells and subsequent infiltration into tissue spaces through interaction with SELPLG on leukocytes under inflammatory conditions)
also involved in activation of EGFR, MAPK1, MAPK3 and release of CD44
CTGF is a novel substrate of ADAM28
