HGF-A

SYNONYMS
Scatter Factor, SF, Hepatopoietin, HPTA, HGF, HGFB, F-TCF, DFNB39, Hepatocyte growth factor, Hepatopoeitin-A, Hepatocyte growth factor alpha chain.


INTRODUCTION
Hepatocyte Growth Factor (HGF) is a multifunctional growth factor which regulates both cell growth and cell motility. It exerts a strong mitogenic effect on hepatocytes and primary epithelial cells. HGF synergizes with Interleukin-3 and GM-CSF to stimulate colony formation of hematopoietic progenitor cells in vitro and may, therefore, also modulate hematopoiesis. HGF is secreted as a single inactive polypeptide which is cleaved by serine proteases into a 69kDa Alpha chain and 34kDa Beta chain. A disulfide bond linking the alpha and beta chains produces the active, heterodimeric molecule.


DESCRIPTION
HGF-A Human Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated, Polypeptide chain containing 463 amino acids fragment (32-494) having a total molecular weight of 57.8kDa. The HGF-A is fused with a 4.5kDa amino-terminal hexahistidine tag.
The HGF-A is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
