Background Information: Human Hepatocyte Growth Factor (HGF) is also known as Scatter Factor and Hepatopoeitin A. HGF is a potent mitogen for mature parenchymal hepatocyte cells and acts as a growth factor for a broad spectrum of tissues and cell types. Recombinant human HGF is an 80 kDa disulfide-linked heterodimeric protein consisting of the α chain (463 amino acids) and the β chain (234 amino acids).
Handling: Centrifuge the vial prior to opening.
Usage: For Research Use Only! Not to be used in humans. |
