Description: Hepatocyte growth factor/scatter factor (HGF/SF) is a paracrine cellular growth, motility and morphogenic factor. This gene is mapped to 7q21.11. It is secreted by mesenchymal cells and targets and acts primarily uponepithelial cells and endothelial cells, but also acts on haemopoietic progenitor cells. It has been shown to have a major role in embryonic organ development, specifically in myogenesis, in adult organ regeneration and in wound healing. HGF can regulate cell growth, cell motility, and morphogenesis by activating a tyrosine kinase signaling cascade after binding to the proto-oncogenic c-Met receptor. HGF also serves as a paracrine mediator to control placental development and growth. HGF was identified as one of the liver sinusoidal endothelial cell-derived paracrine mediators promoting hepatocyte growth.
Immunogen: An amino acid sequence from the N-terminus of mouse HGF (QKKRRNTLHEFKKSAKTTLTKEDPLLKIKTKK) was used as the immunogen for this HGF antibody.
Storage: After reconstitution, the HGF antibody can be stored for up to one month at 4oC. For long-term, aliquot and store at -20 °C. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing.
