ProSpec-HGF Human

Scatter Factor , Hepatopoietin , HGF, HGFB, F-TCF.

Hepatocyte Growth Factor 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.

Hepatocyte Growth Factor Human Recombinant produced in Baculovirus is a heterodimer, non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain containing 692 a.a and having a total molecular mass of 78.0 KDa.
The HGF is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.

Insect cells.

Sterile Filtered White lyophilized powder.

The sterile protein powder is lyophilized from a solution containing 50mM acetic acid.

It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized Hepatocyte Growth Factor in 50mM acetic acid to a concentration not less than 100µg/ml. Further dilutions should be made using buffer containing protein.

Lyophilized Hepatocyte Growth Factor although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. Upon reconstitution HGF should be stored at 4°C between 2-7 days and for future use below -18°C.
For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein .
Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles.

Greater than 95.0% as determined by -PAGE.

The activity was assayed for scattering activity in the MDCK cell assay. The ED₅₀ for this effect is typically at 2.0-5.0 ng/ml.
