HumanKine recombinant human HGF protein

Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) is the most potent mitogen of mature hepatocytes in primary culture. It is secreted by mesenchymal cells and acts as a multi-functional cytokine on cells of mainly epithelial origin (PMID 1530787, 2531289). HGF exerts a variety of effects on several cells, such as inflammation, tissue repair, morphogenesis, angiogenesis, tumour propagation, immunomodulation of viral infections and cardio-metabolic activities (PMID: 1846706; 15070743; 1383237; 1827664).
