INTRODUCTION
HGF, also known as scatter factor (SF) and Hepatocyte growth factor, is secreted from mesenchymal cells, targets and acts mainly on epithelial and endothelial cells. The protein is a paracrine cellular growth, motility and morphogenic factor. HGF can also be part of haemopoietic progenitor cells and T cells. HGF has a crucial role in embryonic organ development, mainly in myogenesis. In adults HGF takes part in organ regeneration and wound healing.
DESCRIPTION
HGF Mouse Recombinant produced in Baculovirus is a single glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 1146 amino acids (25-931aa) and having a molecular mass of 127.8kDa. HGF is fused to a 239 amino acid hIgG-His-Tag at C-terminus and purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
