General description

The antibody neutralizes receptor-ligand interaction. At 0.5-2 μg/mL the antibody will block 50% of the binding of 5 ng/mL recombinant human HGF to 0.1 μg immobilized recombinant human HGF R/c-MET Fc chimera. >90% of the binding will be blocked by 10 μg/mL of the antibody.

Immunogen

purified recombinant human hepatocyte growth factor receptor extracellular domain expressed in mouse NSO cells.

Application

Anti-Hepatocyte Growth Factor Receptor (c-Met) antibody produced in goat was used to block c-Met in HeLa cells.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Hepatocyte Growth Factor (HGF) is a multifunctional, heparin-binding factor that stimulates the proliferation of liver cells. The cellular effects of HGF are mediated by its receptor, c-Met, that leads to significant activation of ERK, Src/FAK, STAT3 and PI3K signaling. Various functions of the HGF/c-Met signaling include proliferation, cell survival, motility and adhesion and tissue regeneration. Apart from liver, HGF also mediates regeneration of kidney, lung and gastro-intestines.

Physical form

Lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered solution in phosphate buffered saline containing carbohydrates.

Although the liver has a large regenerative capacity, in many hepatopathies, these repair mechanisms fail. The therapeutic potential of hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) has been proven in numerous toxin-induced liver failure models in rodents, but never in spontaneously occurring liver

A theme emerging during the past few years is that members of the small leucine-rich proteoglycan gene family affect cell growth by interacting with multiple receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs), mostly by a physical down-regulation of the receptors, thereby depriving tumor

Amoebiasis in humans is caused by the protozoan parasite Entamoeba histolytica, which cytotoxic activity has been demonstrated on a wide variety of target cells. The process involves the adherence of the parasite to the cell, and such adherence is mediated

Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) has mitogenic, morphogenic, and motogenic activities on epithelial cells and plays important roles in regeneration of the liver and the kidney. We previously found that the expression of HGF gene is rapidly induced in the lung

Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) is the most potent mitogen for mature hepatocytes and seems to act as a hepatotropic factor that has not been purified over the past 30 years. HGF was first purified from rat platelets in 1986. HGF
