| Formulation | HGF protein solution (1mg/ml) contains 20mM Tris-HCl buffer (pH 8.0), 10% glycerol and 0.4M Urea. |
| Purity | Greater than 80% as determined by SDS-PAGE. |
| Description | HGF Human Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 255 amino acids (32-285 a.a.) and having a molecular mass of 29.8kDa. HGF is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques. |
| Protein Background | 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. |
| Expression host | Escherichia Coli. |
| Synonyms | Scatter Factor (SF), Hepatopoietin (HPTA), HGF, HGFB, F-TCF, DFNB39. |
| Reagent Appearance | Sterile filtered colorless solution. |
| Stability | Store at 4°C if entire vial will be used within 2-4 weeks. Store, frozen at -20°C for longer periods of time. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA).Avoid multiple freeze-thaw cycles. |
