It belongs to the peptidase S1 family and Plasminogen subfamily, contains 4 kringle domains, 1 PAN domain and 1 peptidase S1 domain. HGF regulates cell growth, cell motility, and morphogenesis by activating a tyrosine kinase signaling cascade after binding to the proto-oncogenic c-Met receptor. HGF is secreted by mesenchymal cells and acts as a multi-functional cytokine on cells of mainly epithelial origin. Its ability to stimulate mitogenesis, cell motility, and matrix invasion gives it a central role in angiogenesis, tumorogenesis, and tissue regeneration.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCommon research applications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStandard curve or spike-in reference for quantitative assays involving HGF\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBinding interaction studies (e.g., SPR\/BLI or plate-based binding formats)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCell-based stimulation studies with downstream marker readouts (conceptual)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eNotes for experimental interpretation\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRecombinant constructs may not capture all native isoforms or PTMs.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConsider tag- or host-related effects when interpreting binding or activity.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUse appropriate blanks and matrix\/control concepts to separate signal from background.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c!-- Sources (internal): - UniProtKB P14210 — UniProt — https:\/\/www.uniprot.org\/uniprotkb\/P14210 - NCBI Gene search: HGF — NCBI — https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/gene\/?term=HGF - Ensembl search: HGF — Ensembl — https:\/\/www.ensembl.org\/Multi\/Search\/Results?q=HGF - Reactome Pathway Browser — Reactome — https:\/\/reactome.org\/ - NCBI Bookshelf — NCBI — https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/books\/ --\u003e","brand":"CUSABIO TECHNOLOGY LLC","offers":[{"title":"1 mg","offer_id":53053389898093,"sku":"CSB-AP003681HU-1MG","price":4254.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"500 ug","offer_id":53053501505901,"sku":"CSB-AP003681HU-500UG","price":2978.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"50 ug","offer_id":53053501538669,"sku":"CSB-AP003681HU-50UG","price":610.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/7424\/7277\/files\/CSB-AP003681HU.jpg?v=1772177591","url":"https:\/\/www.ebiohippo.com\/products\/recombinant-human-hepatocyte-growth-factor-hgf-active-bhp10506672","provider":"BioHippo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
