Description
Recombinant Human Hepatocyte Growth Factor (HGF) is a multifunctional cytokine that plays a critical role in cell proliferation, motility, morphogenesis, and tissue regeneration. HGF exerts its biological effects by binding to the c-Met receptor, activating downstream signaling pathways such as PI3K/AKT, MAPK, and STAT, which are essential for cell growth and survival. It is widely involved in liver development, wound healing, angiogenesis, and tumor progression.
This recombinant protein is expressed in CHO cells and consists of both α and β chains (α chain: Gln32–Arg494; β chain: Val495–Ser728), forming the biologically active heterodimer. With high purity (≥95%) and strong bioactivity (ED50 ≤2.5 ng/mL, measured by IL-11 secretion in Saos-2 cells), this product is suitable for a wide range of applications in cell biology, oncology, and regenerative medicine. The protein is supplied in a tag-free, lyophilized form for convenient storage and reconstitution.
