General description

Blockade of receptor-ligand interaction: In a functional ELISA, 0.3-1 μg/mL of this antibody will block 50% of the binding of 5 ng/mL of Recombinant Human HGF to immobilized Recombinant Mouse HGF R/cMET Fc Chimera coated at 1 μg/mL (100 μL/well). At 20 μg/mL, this antibody will block >90% of the binding.

Immunogen

purified recombinant mouse hepatocyte growth factor receptor extracellular domain expressed in insect Sf 21 cells.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Hepatocyte Growth Factor (HGF) is a multifunctional, heparin-binding factor that stimulates the proliferation of liver cells. The cellular effects of HGF are mediated by its receptor, c-Met, that leads to significant activation of ERK, Src/FAK, STAT3 and PI3K signaling. Various functions of the HGF/c-Met signaling include proliferation, cell survival, motility, adhesion and tissue regeneration. Apart from liver, HGF also mediates regeneration of kidney, lung and gastro-intestines.

Physical form

Lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered solution in phosphate buffered saline (pH 7.4) with 5% trehalose.

Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) has mitogenic, morphogenic, and motogenic activities on epithelial cells and plays important roles in regeneration of the liver and the kidney. We previously found that the expression of HGF gene is rapidly induced in the lung

Critical reviews in oncogenesis, 3(1-2), 27-54 (1992-01-01)
Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) is the most potent mitogen for mature hepatocytes and seems to act as a hepatotropic factor that has not been purified over the past 30 years. HGF was first purified from rat platelets in 1986. HGF

Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) and Met/HGF receptor play roles in dynamic growth and morphogenesis during development and regeneration of organs, including the kidney. In the kidney, HGF targets different types of cells, while its biological actions depend on a target

Proceedings of the Japan Academy. Series B, Physical and biological sciences, 86(6), 588-610 (2010-06-17)
It has been more than 25 years since HGF was discovered as a mitogen of hepatocytes. HGF is produced by stromal cells, and stimulates epithelial cell proliferation, motility, morphogenesis and angiogenesis in various organs via tyrosine phosphorylation of its receptor
Rie Nakahira et al.
Biochemical and biophysical research communications, 341(4), 897-903 (2006-02-16)
The stomach is constantly exposed to mechanical and chemical stresses. Under persistent damages, epithelial cell proliferation is required to maintain mucosal integrity. Nevertheless, which ligand system(s) is physiologically involved in gastric defense remains unclear. Herein, we provide evidence that HGF
