HGF Protein is a multifunctional glycoprotein. By binding to the transmembrane tyrosine kinase receptor Met, HGF Protein plays a key role in cell proliferation, migration, differentiation and tissue repair. Abnormalities of HGF Protein are closely associated with tumor growth, metastasis and organ fibrosis. HGF Protein, Human (HEK293, His) is a recombinant HGF protein expressed by HEK293 and tagged with C-His.

Biological Activity

Description

HGF Protein is a multifunctional glycoprotein. By binding to the transmembrane tyrosine kinase receptor Met, HGF Protein plays a key role in cell proliferation, migration, differentiation and tissue repair. Abnormalities of HGF Protein are closely associated with tumor growth, metastasis and organ fibrosis. HGF Protein, Human (HEK293, His) is a recombinant HGF protein expressed by HEK293 and tagged with C-His[1][2][3].

Background

HGF is a multifunctional cytokine mainly secreted by mesenchymal cells. HGF activates downstream signaling pathways by binding to the transmembrane tyrosine kinase receptor Met. HGF is indispensable for embryonic development, and knockout of related genes leads to embryonic lethality. HGF has multiple biological functions, including inducing cell proliferation, migration, morphogenesis, and angiogenesis. HGF is involved in the regeneration and repair of multiple organs such as the liver, kidney, and lung, and can improve organ damage through anti-apoptotic, anti-fibrotic, and anti-inflammatory effects. Meanwhile, abnormal activation of the HGF/Met signaling pathway is closely associated with tumor invasion and metastasis. HGF has dual functions: it can promote tissue repair and inhibit tumor progression through antagonistic mechanisms[1][2][3].

In Vitro

HGF Protein (Human; 0-10 ng/mL; 72 h) promotes DNA synthesis in primary rat and human hepatocytes[4].

In Vivo

HGF Protein (Human; 500 μg; intra-arterial injection; 2 times or 3 mg; intravenous injection; 5 times) induces angiogenesis in a rabbit hindlimb ischemia model, significantly promoting collateral vessel formation and improving angiographic scores[5].
