Human HGF Protein (HGF-HM201)

Recombinant Protein

Shipped at ambient temperature.

The HGF single chain can be processed into the active form of disulfide-linked heterodimer of α and β chain. The protein has a predicted MW of 79.6 kDa (after cleavage of the signal peptide). Due to glycosylation, the protein migrates to 60-65 kDa corresponding to α chain and β chain based on Bis-Tris PAGE result.

Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) is an important component of the pathophysiology of IR, with increased levels in most common IR conditions, including obesity. HGF has a role in the metabolic flux of glucose in different insulin sensitive cell types; plays a key role in β-cell homeostasis; and is capable of modulating the inflammatory response.HGF plays a central role in these metabolic disorders, HGF levels could be employed as a biomarker for disease status/progression, and HGF/c-Met signaling pathway modulators could effectively regulate IR and treat diabetes.

Lyophilized from 0.22 μm filtered solution in PBS, 100 mM L-arginine (pH 7.4). Normally 8% trehalose is added as protectant before lyophilization.
