Hepatocyte Growth Factor, HEK, human recombinant (rHuHGF-HEK)

Human recombinant HGF produced in HEK cells is a glycosylated single chain peptide, having a total molecular weight of 70kDa. 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.
