other info1 :
Biological Significance: HGF, also known as scatter factor and hepatopoietin A, is a pleiotropic protein in the plasminogen subfamily of S1 peptidases. It is a multidomain molecule that includes an Nterminal PAN/APPLE like domain, four Kringle domains, and a serine proteinaselike domain that has no detectable protease activity (1 5). Human HGF is secreted as an inactive 728 amino acid (aa) single chain propeptide. Endotoxin Levels: <0.1 EU per 1 ug of the antibody by the LAL method.
other info2 :
Immunogen: HGF antibody was raised in mouse using S. frugiperda insect ovarian cell line Sf 21-derived recombinant human HGF as the immunogen.

ncbi summary :
Hepatocyte growth factor regulates cell growth, cell motility, and morphogenesis by activating a tyrosine kinase signaling cascade after binding to the proto-oncogenic c-Met receptor. Hepatocyte growth factor is secreted by mesenchymal cells and acts as a multi-functional cytokine on cells of mainly epithelial origin. Its ability to stimulate mitogenesis, cell motility, and matrix invasion gives it a central role in angiogenesis, tumorogenesis, and tissue regeneration. It is secreted as a single inactive polypeptide and is cleaved by serine proteases into a 69-kDa alpha-chain and 34-kDa beta-chain. A disulfide bond between the alpha and beta chains produces the active, heterodimeric molecule. The protein belongs to the plasminogen subfamily of S1 peptidases but has no detectable protease activity. Alternative splicing of this gene produces multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
uniprot summary :
HGF: HGF is a potent mitogen for mature parenchymal hepatocyte cells, seems to be an hepatotrophic factor, and acts as growth factor for a broad spectrum of tissues and cell types. It has no detectable protease activity. Activating ligand for the receptor tyrosine kinase MET by binding and promoting its dimerization. Defects in HGF are the cause of deafness autosomal recessive type 39 (DFNB39). A form of profound prelingual sensorineural hearing loss. Sensorineural deafness results from damage to the neural receptors of the inner ear, the nerve pathways to the brain, or the area of the brain that receives sound information. Belongs to the peptidase S1 family. Plasminogen subfamily. 6 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing. Protein type: Cell development/differentiation; Hormone; Motility/polarity/chemotaxis. Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 7q21.1. Cellular Component: extracellular space; membrane; extracellular region. Molecular Function: identical protein binding; protein binding; growth factor activity; protein heterodimerization activity; serine-type endopeptidase activity; chemoattractant activity.
