Hepatocyte growth factor

Hepatocyte growth factor ( HGF ) (or scatter factor (SF) is a paracrine cellular growth, motility and morphogenic factor. Plasma from patients with fulminant hepatic failure contains a factor that stimulates the growth of adult rat hepatocytes in primary culture. About HGF: HGF, or hepatocyte growth factor , is classified as a morphogenic, motility, and paracrine cellular growth factor. It is often discussed and talked about . This gene encodes a protein that binds to the hepatocyte growth factor receptor to regulate cell growth, cell motility and morphogenesis in numerous cell and .

Formerly known as: HGF ( hepatocyte growth factor ) receptor family. Unless otherwise stated all data on this page refer to the human proteins. This study demonstrated that PPAR-γ agonists could exert their actions by inducing antifibrotic hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) expression. The role of hepatocyte growth factor (scatter factor) in epithelial–mesenchymal transition and breast cancer. Bruce E Elliott, , Wesley L Hung, , Alexander H Boag.

Although ligand-induced receptor dimerization is a common prerequisite for receptor activation, the mode by which different growth factors bind their receptors .

ObjectivesTo investigate the expression and distribution of hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) and c-Met proteins in normal nasal mucosa and in nasal polyps and.

Abstract: This review summarizes recent findings on the therapeutic potential of hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) for a variety of neurological diseases. Although both hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) and interleukin (IL)-play important roles in invasion of cancer cells, interaction between these two critical factors . Identification of the source of elevated hepatocyte growth factor levels in multiple myeloma patients. Engineering a potent inhibitor of matriptase from the natural hepatocyte growth factor activator inhibitor type-(HAI-1) protein. To examine the production of hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) by human endometrial stromal cells (ESC) in vitro, concentrations of HGF in the culture . Name giving, hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) was initially identified as a mitogenic factor for rat hepatocytes ( 2).

However, it then became . Microarray analysis revealed that several cytokines were potently upregulated by Asc-2P, but among them, only hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) stimulated . We describe here novel antioxidant-sensitive events in which activation kinetics are delaye leading to inhibition of cell signaling. In response to the letter by de Jong (), the increase of the serum level of hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) is based on a balance between the production and the . Cuevas-Bahena, Verónica Souza, . Overexpression of hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) in the β-cell of transgenic mice enhances β-cell proliferation, survival, and function. In the current studies, we . Multifunctional growth factor which regulates both cell growth and cell motility.

It exerts a strong mitogenic effect on hepatocytes and primary epithelial cells.
