Background:
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. Transcript Variant: This variant (1) encodes the longest isoform (1). To date, experimental evidence for cleavage of the proprotein into two mature chains has been shown only for isoform 1.

Other Names:
Hepatocyte growth factor, Hepatopoietin-A, Scatter factor, SF, Hepatocyte growth factor alpha chain, Hepatocyte growth factor beta chain, HGF, HPTA

Target/Specificity:
The synthetic peptide sequence used to generate the antibody AP1724b was selected from the C-term region of human HGF. A 10 to 100 fold molar excess to antibody is recommended. Precise conditions should be optimized for a particular assay.

Gene Name: HGF

Gene ID: 3082
Primary Accession: P14210
Format: Peptides are lyophilized in a solid powder format. Peptides can be reconstituted in solution using the appropriate buffer as needed.
