HGF-B Human Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated, Polypeptide chain containing 234 amino acids fragment (495-728) having a molecular weight of 34kDa and fused with a 4.5kDa amino-terminal hexahistidine tag. The HGF-B is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
Hepatocyte Growth Factor (HGF) is a multifunctional growth factor which regulates both cell growth and cell motility. It exerts a strong mitogenic effect on hepatocytes and primary epithelial cells. HGF synergizes with Interleukin-3 and GM-CSF to stimulate colony formation of hematopoietic progenitor cells in vitro and may, therefore, also modulate hematopoiesis. HGF is secreted as a single inactive polypeptide which is cleaved by serine proteases into a 69kDa Alpha chain and 34kDa Beta chain. A disulfide bond linking the alpha and beta chains produces the active heterodimeric molecule.
