HDGF Protein, Human (His)

The HDGF protein acts as a transcriptional repressor and was previously thought to have mitogenic activity for fibroblasts and be a heparin-binding protein. However, recent studies have shown that it does not exhibit mitogenic activity for fibroblasts and does not bind heparin. HDGF Protein, Human (His) is the recombinant human-derived HDGF protein, expressed by E. coli , with C-6*His labeled tag. The total length of HDGF Protein, Human (His) is 100 a.a., with molecular weight of ~14.0 kDa.

Hepatoma-derived growth factor (HDGF) exhibits a dual role as both a transcriptional repressor and a mitogenic factor for fibroblasts. While it acts as a repressor in transcriptional regulation, influencing cellular processes, it also demonstrates mitogenic activity, particularly for fibroblasts. HDGF has been identified as a heparin-binding protein, which suggests its involvement in interactions with heparin and potentially modulating cellular responses. However, it's noteworthy that conflicting reports exist, with some studies indicating that HDGF lacks mitogenic activity for fibroblasts and does not bind to heparin. These findings highlight the complexity of HDGF's functional repertoire, showcasing its diverse roles in transcriptional control, mitogenic signaling, and potential interactions with heparin.
