The HGF gene encodes hepatocyte growth factor (HGF), a protein involved in organ regeneration, angiogenesis, and myelination. It is located in the extracellular space and serves as a biomarker for cholangiocarcinoma. Implicated in various diseases, HGF plays a crucial role in physiological and pathological conditions. It shows biased expression in the liver (RPKM 137.5), lung (RPKM 132.1), and other tissues. HGF Protein, Rat (HEK293) is the recombinant rat-derived HGF protein, expressed by HEK293 , with tag free.

Description

The HGF gene encodes hepatocyte growth factor (HGF), a protein involved in organ regeneration, angiogenesis, and myelination. It is located in the extracellular space and serves as a biomarker for cholangiocarcinoma. Implicated in various diseases, HGF plays a crucial role in physiological and pathological conditions. It shows biased expression in the liver (RPKM 137.5), lung (RPKM 132.1), and other tissues. HGF Protein, Rat (HEK293) is the recombinant rat-derived HGF protein, expressed by HEK293 , with tag free.

Background

The HGF gene encodes hepatocyte growth factor (HGF), a protein that functions as a growth factor. HGF is involved in various biological processes, including animal organ regeneration, positive regulation of angiogenesis, and positive regulation of myelination. It is predominantly located in the extracellular space. HGF is utilized as a tool for studying brain infarction and serves as a biomarker for cholangiocarcinoma. Implicated in several diseases, including artery disease, autosomal recessive nonsyndromic deafness 39, various eye diseases, neuropathy, and multiple forms of scleroderma, the human ortholog of the HGF gene plays a crucial role in diverse physiological and pathological conditions. With biased expression observed in the liver (RPKM 137.5), lung (RPKM 132.1), and eight other tissues, HGF stands at the intersection of critical cellular processes and disease pathways.

Verified Bioactivity
