Hepatocyte Growth Factor Receptor (HGF R, c-MET, HGFAC, HGF activator Hepatocyte growth factor activator precursor, HGFA, HGFAP, MGC138395, MGC138397)

Hepatocyte growth factor or scatter factor, is a member of the plasminogen related growth factor family. Members are potent effectors of growth, movement and differentiation of epithelial and endothelial cells. HGF/SF may exhibit morphogenesis in adjacent cells. The membrane receptor for HGF/SF is the product of the proto oncogene cmet, a receptor tyrosine kinase. Hepatocyte Growth Factor, also known as Scatter Factor (SF) and Hepatopoietin A, is a pleiotropic growth factor produced by mesodermally derived cells, such as Kupfer cells/macrophages, endothelial cells, and hepatic fat storing cells. HGF stimulates hepatocytes and other epithelial and endothelial cells to various biological actions, including mitogenic, morphogenic and motogenic activity. \n\nApplications:\nSuitable for use in ELISA and Western Blot. Other applications not tested.\n\nRecommended Dilution:\nELISA: 0.5-1ug/ml\nWestern Blot: 0.1-0.2ug/ml\nOptimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.\n\nStorage and Stability:\nLyophilized powder may be stored at -20 degrees C. Stable for 12 months at -20 degrees C. Reconstitute with sterile PBS, sterile 40-50% glycerol, aliquot and store at -20 degrees C. Reconstituted product is stable for 12 months at -20 degrees C. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer.
