Masaharu Takigawa. Methods Mol Biol. 2017.

Abstract

I introduce the general structures and functions of CCN proteins and possible molecular mechanisms regarding the unique biological actions of this new family of signaling regulators, which may be referred to as "signal conductors." Relevance to pathology is also briefly introduced. The information provided in this overview should be useful for readers of the following chapters.

Keywords: CCN family; Matricellular protein; Signal conductor; Signaling; Structure.
